The submission appears to be a mix of contradictory data points: the description outlines an Oslo-based B2B startup (Perlo.io), while the stats (Team 240, Launch 1950) likely refer to a US-based construction firm (Perlo Construction), and the traction claims ('most people have used my product') are factually impossible for a specialized B2B tool. The lack of coherent evidence results in a very low score despite the potential utility of the described solution.
