The project suffers from critical credibility issues, most notably the hyperbolic claim that 'most people have used my product' without any supporting evidence. Search verification yields no significant digital footprint for 'traceplus.ai' or 'Trace Technologies', suggesting the project is either inactive or the submission is inaccurate. While the concept of enterprise health management has utility, the lack of verifiable traction, declining market timing for pandemic-era pivots, and poor response quality result in a score near the bottom of the scale.
