Gaining Momentum

The project operates in a highly relevant market (cyber threat intelligence), but the submission suffers from exaggerated claims and lack of specific details. Stating the audience is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people have used my product' are unrealistic for a B2B cybersecurity platform. Stating an all-time marketcap of 2.5M as monthly revenue shows a misunderstanding of core metrics. Due to these red flags and vague technical descriptions, the quality multipliers heavily penalize the score.
