TripNiceDay is a verifiable travel planning platform for Thailand with a functional app and verified funding (~$25k grant). However, the submission contains blatantly false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and audience reach of 'everyone'), which severely impacted the score. While the product has real-world utility for niche travelers and local traction (approx. 11k LINE followers), the lack of transparency and exaggerated metrics in the submission result in a low score within the 'Minimal Traction' range.
