You're In Business

The project 'vanu.dev' is a verified micro-consultancy registered in Copenhagen (v/Tess Ellenoir Duursma). However, the submission is heavily penalized for hyperbolic and unverifiable claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'. The 'marketcap' figure likely refers to small-scale revenue (possibly in DKK) rather than a valuation of a major tech entity. The project fits the profile of a standard local freelancer or small agency with minimal public digital footprint.
