The Design Project is a verifiable design subscription agency with a functioning website and portfolio of clients (e.g., Woven, Brev). However, the submission data contains significant red flags: the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false, and the financial metric ('all time marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous and potentially low relative to the claimed team size of 125. The project offers a standard productized service with low technical innovation. The disparity between the claimed team size and the likely revenue/traffic suggests either a misunderstanding of metrics or exaggeration. The low response quality and hyperbolic claims heavily penalized the traction and reach scores.
