The project 'Solomon Ears' presents a high-concept solution for music industry royalties using IoT and Blockchain, a narrative popular around its 2018 launch. However, the submission contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') which severely undermine credibility. Verifiable evidence suggests the project is a dormant or niche prototype with no significant market adoption. The revenue figure cites 'marketcap', indicating a token-based model with no verifiable cash flow. The discrepancy between the ambitious buzzwords (AI, BigData, DLT) and the lack of tangible evidence results in a minimal score.
