PeakD is a functional, established interface for the Hive blockchain with verifiable utility for censorship-resistant publishing. However, the project submission contained demonstrably false claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), while external data shows approximately 4,000–7,000 monthly active authors. This verified user base places the project in the 'minimal traction' tier (<50k users) relative to the calibration benchmark, and the low quality of the submission inputs heavily penalized the final score.
