You're In Business

Yellow Summer appears to be a legitimate corporate training initiative by Squash Apps, addressing a standard market need for engineering skills. However, the submission is heavily penalized for hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'). The financial metric labeled 'marketcap' is ambiguous (likely cumulative revenue in INR), and technical details are sparse. While the underlying business model is practical, the submission lacks the credible evidence of scale required for a higher score.
