The project 'Schwulst' (schwulst.de) is a verified, long-standing (est. 1975) online magazine serving the LGBT community in Baden-Württemberg, demonstrating clear niche utility and historical longevity. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hallucinated data (e.g., project name 'SwiftStorm', tech 'Hospital & Health Care') and false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the project's actual regional value severely penalized by the unreliable submission data.
