The submission for XSignal.io contains critical inconsistencies and demonstrably false claims, specifically the assertion that 'most people have used my product' for a niche B2B security tool. External validation reveals an inactive, unclaimed G2 profile with zero reviews, contradicting the traction claims. The revenue field cites 'marketcap', suggesting confusion with crypto terminology or user error. While the underlying problem of cybersecurity is real, the project appears to be a 'zombie' or low-effort submission with no verifiable activity or user base.
