The submission identifies 'Swoop Search' (swoopsrch.com), a legitimate entity founded in 2011, but the description text describes 'Swoop Technologies', a defense-focused edge computing firm (likely a pivot or related entity). However, the submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience ('everyone'), which contradict the specialized B2B/defense nature of the technology. While external data suggests a team size of ~46 and verifiable technology, the low quality and inaccuracy of the provided evidence result in a heavily penalized score.

Description
Swoop is building a secure, distributed operating system, allowing our customers to securely harness their data and construct a programmable, autonomous edge. \n\nThe edge is where digital rubber meets the real-world road. Where data is produced, consumed, or networked to accomplish an objective. It is covered in assets -- chips, memory, networking interfaces -- that comprise a distributed computing platform. \n\nThe edge is strategically important and asset-rich. Swoop is helping unlock its potential, so that search and analysis no longer end simply with incremental insights or neatly organized search results, but with autonomous action directly at the edge.\n \nSwoop's technology has been deployed in some of the world's most sophisticated environments. Our team is purposeful in directing our technology toward solving important problems. We are building for a future where advancements in critical infrastructure, smart grids, supply chains, and manufacturing are programmed into existing systems -- rapidly, adaptive, and economically feasible.
