The submission contains major red flags and verifiably false claims, including 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the target audience. Stating an 'all time marketcap: 2500000' for a standard e-learning mentoring platform is incongruent and suspicious. The pitch heavily relies on an outdated 2016 World Economic Forum report rather than present-day market validation. These severe credibility issues result in a negative score.

Description
Youth Centric, SPC ("Social Purpose Corporation") is developing and bringing to the marketplace, MeritXP.com ("MeritXP™"). MeritXP is a mentoring platform, extending skills development for youth through pathways for learning, information exchange with peers, and networking with mentors. Our badging and rewards system recognizes youth for their involvement and achievements, reinforcing and building positive attributes, while providing support functions for clubs, teams and youth-focused groups. We enable businesses to increase brand awareness, gain loyal customers, and be innovative through exposure to individuals who have developed competitive skillsets and positive ethical capital. MeritXP exists to serve a higher purpose through conscious capitalism -- the power of business to serve humanity, resulting in sustainable future enterprise. The timing is right for the launch of this new product. A recent report published in January 2016 by the World Economic Forum predicts, "The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which includes developments in previously disjointed fields such as artificial intelligence and machine-learning, robotics, nanotechnology, 3-D printing, and genetics and biotechnology, will cause widespread disruption not only to business models but also to labor markets over the next five years, with enormous change predicted in the skill sets needed to thrive in the new landscape." YouthCentric's mentoring platform through MeritXP is essential to instilling the mental and physical skill sets needed by each youth for successfully navigating, prospering within, or even leading this stage of economic evolution.
