The project 'Q-Stats' (submitted as Q-Answers) is a verified Chrome extension for Quora marketing with approximately 10,000+ users and ~900 claimed weekly active users. The tool provides legitimate utility for digital marketers. However, the submission itself contained significant inaccuracies: the launch date (1999 vs. actual ~2020), team size (claimed 176 vs. actual ~11-50), and traction claims ('most people have used my product'). These falsehoods severely impacted the score, placing it in the 'Minimal traction' bracket despite the functional product.
