You're In Business

The project targets algorithmic trading using machine learning, which has real-world utility in fintech. However, the submission is heavily penalized due to wildly exaggerated and unverifiable claims, such as stating 'everyone' is the target audience and 'most people have used my product'. Additionally, reporting 'marketcap 500000' instead of monthly revenue suggests a crypto token rather than a traditional business. These red flags result in the lowest quality multipliers across all criteria.
