Industry Mainstay

Project 'Fourier Audio' is a verified, high-impact success story in the professional live sound industry. The company, known for its 'transform.engine' (formerly Project Core), was acquired by DiGiCo/Audiotonix in October 2023 and powers audio for major global tours (e.g., Coldplay, Hans Zimmer). However, the specific submission received is of extremely low quality: the submitter ('SilentHeart') provided vague, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and lazy data ('team size 7', 'revenue null'). Despite the poor submission quality, the underlying project's proven utility, technical innovation, and successful exit warrant a high score, calibrated to the 'Much Larger Scale' tier (400+) due to its industry dominance, though penalized for the lack of effort in the entry.
