The submission describes a sustainable packaging startup ('Oimo') but suffers from severe quality issues and hyperbolic claims. The user 'CrimsonBlade' provides a vague description and incorrect technology tags (e.g., 'Semiconductors' for packaging). The traction claim that 'most people have used my product' is unverifiable and likely false for a 2019 startup. While the problem area (replacing plastics) is high-utility, the submission fails to provide credible proof of the project's actual status or reach.
