Data Wrangling is an AI/ML software consultancy operating since 2008. While the technical domain is highly relevant and provides real-world utility, the submission is hampered by vague and unsupported claims ('everyone' for audience, 'most people have used my product' for traction) and conflates revenue with 'all time marketcap'. Given the 18-year operating history and a reported $2.5M all-time financial figure, verifiable traction appears very limited relative to the stated 30-person team size.
