Industry Mainstay

The project represents a legitimate, established engineering consultancy (A+i Engineering GbR) based in Germany, active since 2002 with a team of ~30 experts. External verification confirms high-value work in aviation and automotive sectors (e.g., Rolls-Royce, autonomous kite projects). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing spam-like claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics ('marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the strong underlying business reality (High Utility/Innovation) significantly penalized in Reach and Traction categories due to the unreliable submission data.
