ZappBug is a verified, established business (est. 2011) offering effective heat-treatment solutions for bed bugs with verifiable sales channels (Amazon, Walmart, DoMyOwn). Despite high real-world utility for its specific use case, the project submission was of extremely low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the legitimacy of the hardware business and its longevity, significantly penalized by the lack of professional detail in the application and its niche consumer reach compared to broader tech platforms.
