The submission presents a solid theoretical concept for aviation sustainability but contains severe red flags. The claims that 'most people have used my product' for a highly specialized B2B airline software, combined with citing an 'all time marketcap' as monthly revenue, strongly indicate fabricated or unsubstantiated data. Consequently, the project receives a negative score due to a complete lack of verifiable traction and untrustworthy responses.
