The project appears to be a small B2B consultancy or early-stage R&D firm focused on smart grid electronics. There is a significant disconnect between the claim that 'most people have used my product' (likely referring to the founder's past employment history) and the project's own metrics ($500k lifetime value over 6 years, which is extremely low for a 6-person team). The submission creates confusion with the name 'StarHeart' versus 'Basegenic' and lacks verifiable evidence of current market traction.
