You're In Business

PreSquared addresses a genuinely high-utility problem in predictive healthcare and machine learning deployment, backed by appropriate market timing. However, the submission is severely penalized for highly implausible and exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', target audience of 'everyone' for a B2B clinical platform). The lack of verifiable traction, vague answers, and poor response quality place it firmly in the minimal traction tier.
