You're In Business

Skkiper is an SMB M&A platform with an AI-enabled broker concept, targeting a viable market. However, the project's evidence of traction and audience reach are highly exaggerated and unsupported by realistic data ('most people have used my product', vague 2.5M market cap). Consequently, it receives a low PoU score indicative of minimal verifiable traction.
