Lab Mode

The project represents a recruitment agency, 'William James Consultants Limited', which public records indicate entered liquidation/insolvency proceedings as of late 2025. The submission contains multiple red flags and factually false claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone', which contradict the niche nature of the business and its verified failed status. The 'marketcap' figure is mislabeled and likely represents a final liquidation value or total turnover, which is low for a 6-year operation. Due to the active liquidation status and deceptive submission data, the project receives a negative score.
