The submission appears to be incoherent or automated. The project name 'ThunderForge' conflicts with the description, which refers to 'Rivo', a legacy EHS software company acquired by Sphera in 2017. 'ThunderForge' currently refers to a high-profile 2025 Defense Innovation Unit AI project, suggesting a hallucination or data mismatch in the submission. Additionally, the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is factually false for a specialized B2B tool.
