Gaining Momentum

The project identifies a valid real-world use case in sports memorabilia authentication. However, the submission relies on heavily exaggerated and unsupported claims ('most people have used my product', reach is 'everyone') rather than actual data. Technical details are vague ('Software Development'), and revenue figures are nonsensical ('all time marketcap: 500000'). Due to the lack of verifiable traction and poor submission quality, it receives significant penalties.
