You're In Business

The project 'Phil' (WhisperSpirit) presents as a public relations firm established in 2009, but the submission lacks verifiable evidence and contains significant contradictions. Key red flags include the claim that 'most people have used my product', an inexplicable 'marketcap' of 2.5 million for a service agency, and a team size of 125 that contradicts the niche scope described. The domain 'philpr.com' does not appear to be active or indexed. While the service (PR) has theoretical utility, the specific submission is of very low quality and credibility, resulting in a score reflecting minimal to no verifiable traction.
