The project appears to be an early-stage industrial sensor distributor (B2B) rather than a technology innovator. The submission suffers from significant exaggeration (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people' have used the product) without supporting evidence. The URL and description distinguish it from the high-profile UK medical diagnostics company of the same name. With a self-reported 'marketcap' of 500,000 (likely valuation, not revenue) and no verifiable user data, the project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category.
