Sheger Tech appears to be a legitimate, albeit small, digital agency based in Addis Ababa offering standard web design and hosting services since roughly 2019. However, the project submission suffers significantly from hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'). The reported financial metric ('2,500,000 marketcap') is ambiguous and likely refers to registered capital in ETB rather than verified revenue or valuation in USD. The disparity between the claimed team size (30) and third-party data (~2-9 employees) further reduces credibility. The project demonstrates basic local utility but lacks the technical innovation, scale, or evidence of traction required for a higher score.
