The project represents a niche B2B service (ductwork testing) rather than a scalable technology product. While the specific industry references (BSEN15780, TR19) suggest genuine domain knowledge, the submission suffers from critical credibility issues. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone' are demonstrably false for a specialized industrial service. Furthermore, no verifiable digital footprint was found for 'GO-Labs' in the UK ductwork sector despite a claimed team size of 30. The use of 'marketcap' for a likely private entity further indicates low submission quality. The score reflects a lack of verifiable traction and significant red flags in the reported metrics.

Description
GO-Labs are an independent laboratory servicing the ductwork cleaning industry. Preferred Vacuum Testing is used to confirm pre clean whether ductwork is in need of cleaning and post clean as a confirmation that cleaning has been done and the system is cleaned to within the parameters set out in BSEN15780 and TR19 Air. Microbiological sampling confirms the presence of bacterial and fungal growth within the ductwork. We provide the samples for these tests to take place and deliver a rapid turnaround time on this service.
