You're In Business

The submission describes a niche embedded systems consultancy but lacks verifiable evidence to support its claims. While the service offered (SoC design, firmware) has real-world utility, the submission is plagued by hyperbolic claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics ('all time marketcap' vs revenue). No significant web presence was found for the provided URL, and the 'team size of 6' contrasts with the likely solo-consultant nature suggested by the revenue and description. The low score reflects the lack of verifiable traction and poor response quality.
