Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Datasoft Embedded appears to be a legitimate but small consultancy (est. 2016, Austria) offering embedded software services, primarily verified through external databases showing ~2 employees rather than the claimed 30. The submission suffers from severe credibility issues, including hyperbolic claims of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' having used the product, which contradicts the niche B2B nature of embedded systems verification. While the core service addresses a valid industry problem (hardware-independent prototyping), the misrepresented traction, team size, and reach significantly lower the score. The 'ThunderHunter' name likely refers to the submitter rather than the project, as no such product is associated with the company.

Description
DATASOFT Systems is a supplier of professional services for mission critical safety and security systems. DATASOFT enables prototyping, simulation and verification of embedded software under PC based OS as Windows or Linux to release software-hardware dependencies at an early stage accelerating product development and shorten the SW validation cycle of embedded systems designs. By ensuring 100% design-reuse of platform and OS independent SW IPs we enable portability without porting of code to concurrently reduce complexity in distributed team organizations and improve quality on embedded systems designs. DATASOFT reduces development efforts leading to an earlier time to product and ROI while concurrently improving product quality and decreasing maintenance costs to meet customer expectations for semiconductors, ODMs and OEMs in the automotive, industrial, telecom/datacom and IoT market.
