You're In Business

The submission describes a standard cybersecurity consulting and MSSP business but features highly exaggerated and unsupported claims. Assertions that 'everyone' is the target audience and 'most people have used my product' contradict the reality of a 6-person B2B firm with a $500k all-time market cap. While the core service offers real-world utility, the lack of verifiable traction, unsubstantiated AI/ML technical claims, and poor response quality result in a heavily penalized score.
