The submission presents significant red flags indicating low credibility. The URL (landscaping) contradicts the project description (industrial/IoT manufacturing). The claimed metrics are economically incoherent (125 employees vs. 50k market cap) and traction claims ('most people have used my product') are unsubstantiated and hyperbolic. The response quality is minimal.
