The submission contains verified red flags, including hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and nonsensical data (launch date 1906 for software). No verifiable online presence for 'RugSimple' or its ERP product was found. While the concept of a Rug Industry ERP is valid, the lack of evidence and low-quality response results in a negligible score.
