Asabina (asabina.de) appears to be a legitimate, small boutique innovation consultancy based in Berlin, founded by David Asabina. However, the project submission contains significant discrepancies and hyperbolic claims that severely impact its score. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is unsubstantiated for a niche B2B agency. Additionally, the stated team size of 30 contradicts the 'all time marketcap: 500000' (likely meaning total revenue or valuation), which would be insufficient to sustain such a headcount. The target audience of 'everyone' is unrealistic for a specialized service provider. While the underlying business is real and socially active (e.g., Web Summit, Garage48), the quality of this specific submission is extremely poor.
