The submission contains a critical discrepancy: the provided URL (smartice.org) belongs to a well-known non-profit for sea-ice monitoring, while the description outlines a commercial IoT home automation company ('Smartice Global'). This identity mismatch, combined with objectively false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data points ('everyone', 'marketcap' in revenue field), results in a near-zero score. The project lacks verifiable proof of usefulness in its current presentation.
