Empirical appears to be a standard B2B software development agency established in 2016. While the reported team size (11-20) suggests a functioning small business, the submission provides extremely poor evidence, including demonstrably false claims of reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The lack of verifiable revenue data, specific case studies, or realistic market definition results in a score reflecting minimal proven usefulness in this context.
