Gaining Momentum

PPC.tools aims to solve a genuine problem in Amazon ad optimization, but the submission contains hyperbolic and unsupported claims ('everyone' for audience, 'most people have used my product', and a dubious '2500000 marketcap'). While the core concept of ML-based bid optimization is highly relevant, the severe lack of verifiable data, poor response quality, and vague traction indicators significantly limit the score. The project demonstrates minimal credible traction based on the provided inputs.
