The submission describes a standard recruitment and consulting agency based in Melbourne but suffers from critical data inconsistencies and exaggerated claims. While the core service (recruitment) has real-world utility, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is factually impossible for a specialized local consultancy. Furthermore, a reported 'all time marketcap' of 50,000 is excessively low and contradictory for a claimed team size of 30 people, suggesting either data entry errors or a lack of verifiable business traction. The submission fails to articulate any specific technological innovation beyond standard industry buzzwords.
