The submission for Surf Tel presents significant red flags and data inconsistencies. While the project claims a 125-person team and a 2011 launch, the stated 'marketcap' of 50,000 suggests a discrepancy in financial understanding or operational reality. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is hyperbolic and unverifiable. The technical description is non-existent ('Internet'), and the target audience is vaguely defined as 'everyone'. This appears to be a low-effort or test submission with no verifiable evidence of traction or innovation.
