The project claims to be a B2B retail AI solution with 125 employees, but verification reveals 'Cyscom Ltd' (the owner) is a dormant UK company with <10 employees and no active trading accounts. The traction claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a niche retail tool. The financial data is confused ('marketcap' listed in revenue field) and significantly under-reports for a 13-year-old company of the claimed size. The submission exhibits major red flags indicating a legacy/zombie project with fabricated current metrics.
