Zenna presents a high-potential concept in the AI-wellness space but suffers from a critically low-quality submission. While the problem (migraine relief) is genuine, the claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false or hyperbolic. The technical section lists only 'Internet' despite claims of advanced brainwave algorithms, and the team size of 30 contradicts the lack of verifiable footprint. The project scores poorly due to lack of evidence, vague assertions, and red flags in the traction data.
