The submission conflates two distinct entities: Tandym (a branded payments fintech founded ~2021) and Tandym Group (a staffing firm founded in 1985). While the URL belongs to the venture-backed fintech, the provided data (Launch Date: 1985, Business Type: Staffing) matches the recruiting firm. Additionally, the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and triggers a red flag penalty. The project receives a 'Minimal Traction/Red Flags' score due to these critical inconsistencies, despite the fintech entity having verifiable real-world utility and funding.
