The project 'Ness' (Ness Well) described in the submission was a health-focused credit card startup that officially shut down in November 2023 due to lack of funding. The submission contains significant factual errors and hallucinations, including a false launch date (1998), an impossible traction claim ('most people'), and conflation with a different entity ('Ness Digital Engineering') regarding team size and business type. As the product is discontinued and the submission data is unreliable, the utility is effectively null.
