The submission conflates two distinct entities: 'Wander Maps' (wandermaps.com), a niche GIS/3D mapping solution for destinations, and 'Wander' (wander.com), a luxury vacation rental platform. While the URL points to the mapping project, the 'Business Type' and 'Team Size' likely refer to the rental platform or are fabricated. The claims of 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' having used the product are demonstrably false (Wander Maps has <5k downloads/reviews). The low score reflects the severe lack of accurate data, the spam-like nature of the submission (e.g., 'ThunderKeeper'), and the actual niche scale of the project linked.
