The submission for 'OpenPinna' suffers from critical quality issues, including an invalid URL ('co.site'), contradictory metrics (125 staff vs. $50k market cap), and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While external searches confirm 'OpenPinna' exists as an early-stage public safety AI startup founded by Joel Callou, the submission fails to accurately describe its utility, incorrectly categorizing it under 'Health & Wellness' instead of Public Safety. The '2005' launch date and 'everyone' audience reach are factual errors. The score reflects the existence of the underlying project but is heavily penalized for the unverifiable and misleading nature of the submission data.
