The submission presents significant red flags regarding verifiable traction and clarity. While the project claims a 1997 launch and 30 employees, the revenue metric is stated as an 'all time marketcap' of 2.5M, which is inconsistent with a 30-person team over 27 years. The claim that 'most people have used my product' lacks evidence and appears hyperbolic given the generic nature of the 'Practical Solutions Inc.' brand and the lack of a significant search footprint for the domain ps4b.com. The submission is vague, lacking specific technical details or verifiable use cases.
