The project described, Wavefront Wireless Commercialization Centre, ceased operations in May 2018 following funding cuts. The submission appears to be a low-effort or automated entry using outdated descriptive text associated with the defunct entity. Critical red flags include the false claim that 'most people have used my product' (impossible for a B2B accelerator) and the generic audience reach of 'everyone'. While the entity once had historical utility, it is no longer active, and the submission contains demonstrable falsehoods.
