You're In Business

The project proposes a high-value solution (sustainable SAP) but the submission lacks credibility. There is a significant disconnect between the stated business type (biomaterials) and the technology listed (software-development). Traction claims ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and unverifiable for a 2024 launch with no revenue data. The URL and project name yield no significant digital footprint.
