The submission makes highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims ('most people have used my product') combined with very vague details ('Internet', 'everyone') and confused metrics (listing a $2.5M market cap as monthly revenue). While the security edge AI market is relevant, the complete lack of verifiable traction, absence of specific custom technical details, and extremely poor response quality firmly place this project in the minimal traction category.
