Gaining Momentum

The submission critically conflates two distinct entities: 'Tornado' the fintech brokerage (tornado.com) and 'Tornado Global Hydrovacs' (an industrial truck manufacturer, est. 1984). While the URL points to a legitimate investing platform, the metadata (Business Type: Hydrovac trucks, Launch Date: 1984) and traction claims ('most people have used my product') are incoherent and factually incorrect. This severe lack of data integrity results in a minimal score despite the potential utility of the actual software product.
