The project addresses a genuine pain point (navigating government subsidies in India) and has verifiable existence with early traction (approx. 50-300 clients as of late 2023). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring a blatantly false traction claim ('most people have used my product'), vague audience definitions, and confusing financial metrics. While the real-world utility is high, the discrepancy between the claimed reach and reality, combined with a lack of technical detail, results in a low score.
