The submission describes a local service business (smart home installation) rather than a scalable technology product. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false and severely impact credibility. While the service itself has utility for its 200 purported clients, the project lacks technical innovation, verifiable digital footprint, or the scalability typical of high-scoring entries. The misuse of financial terms ('marketcap') and low revenue-to-headcount ratio further suggest an early-stage or lifestyle business rather than a venture-scale project.
