Control Edge AB is a verified Swedish company (org: 559534-8276) launched in 2025, offering industrial automation services and a simulation tool 'CppModel'. However, the submission contains critical inaccuracies: the claim 'most people have used my product' is objectively false for a niche B2B startup, and 'everyone' is not the target audience. The stated revenue ('marketcap 500000') likely refers to share capital (SEK), not operating revenue. While the technical offering (bridging code and physical machines) has genuine utility, the project is in a very early stage with minimal verifiable traction.
