The submission suffers from significant identity confusion, conflating 'Yeti.co' (a San Francisco-based digital product agency) with 'Yeti.com' (the global outdoor products company). While the URL and email domain belong to the agency, the claimed team size (1,340) and business type ('Outdoor products') correspond strictly to YETI Holdings. This discrepancy, combined with the hyperbolic claim that 'most people have used my product' (likely referring to the cooler brand, not the agency), results in a low score due to verifiable data inaccuracies and red flags.
