The submission contains severe inconsistencies: the URL belongs to a logistics platform (Zerobroker), the description details a job opening at a privacy startup (Cloaked), and the project name refers to a defunct social network (LunarStorm). Additionally, the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is verifiably false for the entities listed. Due to these red flags and incoherent data, the project receives a minimal score reflecting a failed verification.
