You're In Business

Heritage Lighting Matters is a verified UK-based business (Company #12236546) providing legitimate specialized lighting services to the heritage sector (e.g., Tonbridge Castle). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'Audience: everyone', 'Traction: most people'). While the real-world utility in its niche is verifiable and positive, the lack of serious evidence in the application and the tiny scale of operation (<50k reach) constrains the score to the 'Minimal Traction' tier.
