The submission describes 'FactorAI', a project aiming to embed IoT sensors in factories to optimize formulated product manufacturing. While the problem statement addresses a genuine industrial need (Industry 4.0/Smart Manufacturing), the submission suffers from severe credibility issues. The claims of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' are factually incorrect for a B2B industrial solution. The reported metric 'all time marketcap: 50000' is nonsensical in a professional context, and the email address format suggests a student or academic project rather than an established commercial entity. The description appears partially copied from existing solutions (e.g., Kode Solutions) without providing verifiable evidence of independent traction or technology.

Description
We are FactorAI. We embed IoT sensors in factories that manufacture formulated products, allowing manufacturers to combine real time data capabilities with artificial intelligence to help them innovate quicker, reduce waste, and create superior products. A formulated product is composed of at least two ingredients which are selected, processed and combined in a specific way to obtain well-defined target properties. E.g. shampoos, conditioners, moisturizing creams, toothpastes, cosmetics, liquid foodstuffs and many other chemicals.
