You're In Business

The project 'PerkSweet' appears to be a low-effort submission with no verifiable digital footprint. Search results yield zero evidence of the platform, the claimed team size of 15, or the 2021 launch. The traction claim 'most people have used my product' is factually incorrect and signifies a lack of credibility. The submission lacks specific technical details or verifiable metrics, resulting in a score near zero.
