Gaining Momentum

The project concept addresses a valid market (at-home connected fitness), but the submission is severely penalized for hyperbolic and unsubstantiated claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). Technical details are completely absent, and evidence of traction is highly dubious despite a claimed 500,000 market cap. Response quality is exceptionally poor with multiple blank fields, leading to minimum quality multipliers across all criteria.
