While the project targets a relevant issue (C2PA standard for AI and digital provenance), the submission is filled with massive red flags. Claims such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' for evidence of traction are completely unverifiable and impossible for an unknown 6-person team. The technologies used are stated vaguely as 'Internet', and monthly revenue is confused with a vague 'marketcap' figure, showcasing a severe lack of detail. Due to these exaggerations and the complete absence of realistic traction, the score falls below zero.
