You're In Business

The submission describes a legitimate, specialized automotive consultancy (Diagonal Technologies GmbH) focused on Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cybersecurity. However, the submission quality is critically flawed. It contains hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') that blatantly contradict the niche B2B nature of the business. While search results confirm the existence of the firm and its expertise in a high-utility sector, the submitted data exhibits confusion—potentially conflating the German automotive firm with an Indian media-tech firm regarding revenue figures ('2500000' matches the Indian firm's ~$2.4M revenue). The project scores well on theoretical utility and timing but is heavily penalized for inaccurate claims and lack of scalable technical innovation.
