The submission presents a significant disconnect between the verifiable corporate entity (Toka Group) and the provided project details. While 'Toka' is a legitimate, Series B funded cyber-intelligence company with substantial backing (a16z, Dell), the submission uses the name 'IronShade' (a known fictional hacking group from a TryHackMe training challenge) and includes objectively false claims about traction ('most people have used my product') and audience ('everyone'). The score reflects the high verifiable status of the underlying company heavily penalized by the confused, inaccurate, and low-effort quality of the submission data.
