The submission lacks verifiable metrics and relies heavily on vague buzzwords and exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'). The absence of concrete active user data and the nonsensical 'marketcap' value for a generic software agency indicate negligible verifiable traction, resulting in a heavily penalized score due to poor evidence quality.
