You're In Business

The project addresses a genuine real-world need (senior technology support) but the submission is heavily compromised by exaggerated and unverifiable claims. The statement that 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone' indicates a lack of seriousness or realistic market understanding. Additionally, the project appears to be a local service business using standard tools rather than a scalable technology platform. The 'marketcap' revenue figure is confusing and unsupported. While the mission is noble, the lack of verifiable traction and the low quality of the submission data result in a low PoU score.
