The project 'Paperplane' (Paperplane Communications Pvt Ltd) is a verified digital telemedicine platform based in India, offering WhatsApp-centric EMR for doctors. While the submission claims 'most people have used my product' and lists the audience as 'everyone', independent verification shows significantly more modest traction: ~1,000+ app downloads and ~$72K annual revenue (FY24) with a team of ~68 employees. The project has raised seed funding (~$433K), validating some utility and market interest. However, the score is heavily penalized due to the submission's hyperbolic, unverifiable claims and the actual user base being in the 'Minimal Traction' (<50K users) range compared to the calibration baseline.
