The project 'Weave' (WeaveIQ) is a legitimate Cannabis POS platform operating in several US states since 2014. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies, conflating the niche startup WeaveIQ with the publicly traded company Weave Communications (NYSE: WEAV). The submission claims a team size of ~900 and a market cap of ~$577M, which belong to the public company, not the cannabis software provider (which appears to be a smaller team of 1-50). Additionally, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a B2B niche product. While the actual software has utility and verified existence, the heavily misleading data in the submission severely impacts the score.
