GuardianIoT appears to be a reseller/integrator of third-party Monnit sensor solutions rather than a proprietary technology developer. The submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). While the underlying service of facility monitoring has real-world utility, the project demonstrates low innovation, ambiguous financial metrics ('marketcap: 50000'), and poor submission quality.

Description
It started with a question.... Is there a way to identify a problem before it becomes an emergency? One of our clients was frustrated. A property incurred costly damage due to freezing sprinkler pipes as a result of malfunctioning gas heaters. The failing heaters were undiscovered as they were located in a small, hard to access space. After a considerable amount of time and research we came up with a solution. We were hooked. So we created a business centered around making your facility run as close to perfect as possible. No emergencies. No surprises. Just the ability to focus on your business, whatever that is. Our business is simple: to provide you with the most cutting edge IoT (Internet of Things) products and services that enable you to keep your focus. Leave the rest to us.
