Pathloom is a verifiable outdoor trip planning startup (founded 2019) with a functional app and small verified community ('thousands'). However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone' as audience). While the project has real-world utility and verified seed activity (~$50k raised), the gross exaggeration of traction and lack of technical detail in the submission severely penalize the score. Actual traction appears to be in the 'thousands' of users range, placing it in the minimal traction category.
