The submission suffers from significant data quality issues, including a mismatch between the project name ('DeepWalker') and the description ('Cycle & Scale'). While search results confirm 'Cycle & Scale' is a legitimate boutique consulting firm for FemTech in NL/DE, the submission claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') are inaccurate for a niche B2B service. As a non-tech consulting business, it lacks the scalability and technical innovation required for a high PoU score, though it scores well on market relevance.
