The project appears to be an early-stage or student-led software agency likely based in Sri Lanka, where 'Nexvertical' was identified as a sponsor for a local university event in Feb 2024. However, the specific product 'AncientKeeper' has no verifiable web presence and shares a name with a well-known legacy game mod. The submission contains hyperbolic and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product') relative to its lack of search footprint. The URL provided is not indexed, and the 'marketcap' figure is ambiguous, likely referring to local currency (LKR) or a non-standard metric. The project demonstrates minimal real-world utility or reach at this stage.
