The submission appears to be a student listing their established university (Telecom Nancy) as a personal technology project. The entry contains significant red flags, including hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and nonsensical financial metrics ('marketcap: 300000000'). There is no description of a specific technological innovation, custom software, or new startup initiative. As a result, the project scores very low due to lack of specificity, category error, and verifiable traction for a new technology.
