You're In Business

BAZ Innovations provides detailed engineering consulting services, showing clear real-world utility and technical capability in hardware/software design. However, the submission contains major red flags: a 6-person B2B consulting firm claiming an audience of 'everyone' and stating 'most people have used my product'. These highly unrealistic claims severely penalize the traction, audience reach, and response quality metrics, placing the final score in the minimal traction range.
