Alpine IoT (project name submitted as 'CrimsonStone') appears to be a legitimate but small IoT consultancy founded by an ex-Apple engineer. The submission quality is extremely poor, containing confusing metrics ('marketcap: 500000') and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'—likely referencing the founder's past work at Apple rather than the consultancy itself). While the expertise is verifiable and valuable, the project currently lacks the scale, productization, and verifiable traction to score higher. The discrepancy between the URL and project name ('CrimsonStone') further lowers credibility.
