The submission describes Tinuum (formerly Clean Coal Solutions), a company that explicitly 'ceased operations in December 2021'. While the entity once had revenue, it has zero current utility. Critical red flags include the false claim that 'most people have used my product' (it was a niche B2B industrial technology) and 'everyone' as the target audience. The submission conflates a defunct corporate entity with a personal username ('SwiftStorm'), resulting in a score below zero due to lack of viability and misleading traction claims.
