Gaining Momentum

The project 'The Market Bull' is a verifiable Australian financial news media group with valid AFSL credentials (AFSL 485946) and niche traction (~24k Twitter followers). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing significant errors (project named 'IronStorm', conflicting with description), hyperbolic claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product'), and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' cited as revenue). While the underlying business exists and has utility for ASX small-cap investors, the submission's lack of professionalism and verifiable data severely impacts the score.
