However, the project submission is severely flawed: it utilizes 11-year-old copy-pasted marketing text and contains demonstrably false claims regarding audience reach ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has verifiable niche utility, the submission's inaccuracy and lack of current data result in significant penalties.
