Certified Problem Solver

Edge Signal is a verifiable, high-utility B2B edge AI platform backed by Wesley Clover International. External search confirms significant traction with major clients like DHL and the Department of National Defence, validating its utility and innovation claims. However, the submission itself was of very poor quality, containing false claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical financial data ('marketcap: 500000'). The score reflects the strong underlying business and technology (verified externally) while penalizing the submission's lack of accuracy and detail.
