You're In Business

Neverinstall demonstrates high real-world utility and technical innovation as a browser-based cloud computing platform. However, the submission quality is critically low, providing false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and zero metrics. While external verification confirms the project is legitimate and functional with a niche user base, the lack of honest, verifiable data in the submission heavily penalizes the final score.
