The submission describes a legitimate but small local web design agency (Steck Insights) based in Colorado Springs. However, the submission itself contains significant red flags and low-quality data. Claims such as 'Evidence of Traction: most people have used my product' and 'Audience Reach: everyone' are objectively false. The technical description ('Internet') is non-substantive. While the agency has verifiable local reviews and a history since 2011, the reported team size (30) and revenue metrics ('marketcap') appear exaggerated or misunderstood compared to external data for a business of this type. The project lacks the scale, innovation, or reach to score higher.
