The project 'Relevant Progress' presents significant red flags, primarily the lack of any verifiable digital footprint for the domain 'relevantprogress.com' despite a claimed 2019 launch. The submission relies on hyperbolic, unsubstantiated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') that contradict its apparent lack of visibility. The financial metric provided ('all time marketcap: 500000') is incoherent for a consulting business revenue field. Consequently, the project is evaluated as having zero verifiable traction and poor response quality.
