Gaining Momentum

The submission describes 'Trusted Technology Network' (TTN), a legitimate UK-based IP consultancy with a verifiable team of ~30 senior experts (former EPO examiners). However, the submission quality is critically low. The Project Name 'DeepHunter' contradicts the description and URL, likely indicating an error or an undisclosed internal tool. Crucially, the 'Evidence of Traction' claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a niche B2B service, and the 'Audience Reach' claim ('everyone') is inaccurate. While the underlying business appears real and useful for its niche, the deceptive and low-effort submission severely impacts the score.
