The submission represents 'ARD Technology Ltd', a legitimate UK-based micro-consultancy established in 1996, but the entry is plagued by unsubstantiated hyperbole and a lack of verifiable digital presence. The domain 'ard-tech.net' does not resolve to a public website, and the claim that 'most people have used my product' is entirely unsupported by evidence. While the longevity of the business (30 years) suggests some level of sustainment, the financial metric ('all time marketcap: 500000') is confusing and technically inaccurate. The project appears to be a niche engineering consultancy (embedded systems, RTOS) with minimal public traction or brand visibility.
