Gaining Momentum

Cyency describes a valid computer vision and machine learning service business based in Perth. However, the submission provides highly exaggerated and unverified claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone'). Given the small team size and lack of verifiable software adoption metrics, the score reflects a boutique agency rather than a globally scaled product.
