The project 'Polyseam.io' (CNDI) is a legitimate early-stage open-source data infrastructure tool, verified via GitHub and YouTube. However, the submission contains critical inaccuracies, conflating the software project with 'Polyseam Ltd,' a UK-based construction adhesives manufacturer (founded 1993, 100+ employees). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche B2B DevTools product. While the 'Data Mesh' concept is relevant, the project demonstrates minimal verifiable traction (approx. 13 GitHub followers) and the submission quality is critically low due to the hallucinated or copy-pasted business metadata.
