The project 'Popsixle' is a legitimate Y Combinator (W22) B2B startup addressing iOS14 signal loss for Shopify merchants, which represents high real-world utility. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and missing critical data. While external verification confirms the company's existence and modest B2B traction (~22 Shopify reviews, seed stage), the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the lack of provided evidence and the delusional nature of the submission's reach claims.
