Voluta Education Consultancy aims to help students align their education and careers with Effective Altruism principles. While the real-world utility of career guidance is clear, the submission lacks technical innovation and presents unverifiable, hyperbolic claims regarding traction and reach (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and reach is 'everyone'). Therefore, the project scores in the minimal traction range.
