You're In Business

The Collaboratorium operates as a small XR consulting agency rather than a scalable tech product. The submission features highly exaggerated claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), lacking any verifiable data. With a team of 6 and no concrete user metrics provided, the project fits firmly in the minimal traction category, resulting in heavy penalties to the quality factors.
