While Overpass is a verifiable, established B2B platform (founded 2014) with valid utility in the remote staffing sector, this submission is critically flawed. The input data contains factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), misused financial terminology ('marketcap: 17000000' for a private entity), and lacks any supporting evidence. The disparity between the actual niche nature of the business (hiring sales reps) and the exaggerated claims in the submission results in severe penalties to the Traction and Reach scores.
