The submission for 'thescoutglobal' (ThunderShade) appears to be a low-effort or test entry with significant red flags. The website 'thescout.app' does not appear to be indexed or active, contradicting the launch date of 2019. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. The business type 'Location scouting' contradicts the description regarding athlete empowerment and fintech. Due to the lack of verifiable evidence, inconsistent data, and unrealistic claims, the project receives a near-zero score.
