The submission describes a niche embedded systems consultancy but lacks credible evidence to support its claims. Assertions such as the target audience being 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product' are hyperbolic and unverifiable. The financial metric labeled 'marketcap' is ambiguous (likely lifetime revenue or valuation), and the response quality is low. While the core service (hardware design) has utility, the lack of concrete traction signals and the exaggerated reach result in a low score.
