The submission displays significant red flags indicative of a non-viable or fictional project. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a generic IT service provider with no search ranking. The financial metric ('marketcap: 17000000') is nonsensical for a private B2B service and likely fabricated or confused with crypto terminology. The contact email structure suggests a student or temporary ID rather than a corporate entity. The website does not rank for the brand name, and the value proposition relies on outdated pandemic-era services.
