StoryPrompt is a legitimate B2B video testimonial platform founded by Gavin Hammar (ex-Sendible) with verified traction (~3,000+ users as of mid-2023). However, the submission itself provided extremely poor data, making false claims ('most people have used my product') and lacking specific metrics. The score reflects the actual existence and utility of the product (verified via external search) while heavily penalizing the submission's lack of evidence and accuracy. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket (<50k users) relative to mass-market standards.
