The submission critically conflates two distinct entities: 'Qurate Inc.' (a Japanese B2B content SaaS founded by Tom Brooke in 2014) and 'Qurate Retail Group' (a Fortune 500 video commerce conglomerate founded in 1991). The description matches the SaaS startup, while the metrics (28,000+ employees, $210M market cap, 1991 launch) belong to the public retail giant (NASDAQ: QRTEA). Due to this incoherence and hyperbolic claims of 'everyone' using the product, the project lacks verifiable proof of usefulness in its current form.
