Gaining Momentum

The project addresses a highly relevant problem (supply chain optimization via AI) with strong market timing, but the submission is significantly hindered by vague, unsupported, and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). With a stated market cap of 500k instead of monthly revenue and no concrete technical specifics, the submission receives minimum quality multipliers across most evaluation criteria.
