While the core concept of optimizing solar farm soiling losses using machine learning presents strong real-world utility and market relevance, the submission itself is deeply flawed and likely fraudulent or a placeholder. Claims that 'everyone' is the target audience and that 'most people have used my product' are entirely nonsensical for specialized B2B solar farm software. Citing a 'marketcap' of 2.5 million instead of revenue suggests an inflated or cryptocurrency-related tangent rather than verifiable business traction.
