Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate, established firmware engineering consultancy (I.M.R. Consulting) with specific expertise in safety-critical systems (ISO 26262, Infineon AURIX). However, the submission itself suffers from extremely poor quality, featuring hyperbolic and false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has real-world utility in a niche B2B market, the lack of scalable product mechanics and the low-effort submission data result in a score reflecting a small-scale service business rather than a high-growth technology venture.

Description
I.M.R. Consulting is a consulting office, born in 2015 basing on many years of international experience in the sector of its owner. We are specialized in the development of firmware on microcontroller boards for real-time applications, in the development of cross-platform GUI and user interfaces for industrial applications, in the development of Web applications for the IoT world, as well as in the drafting and translation of technical documentation. We have a deep knowledge of the Tricore® / AURIX® architecture of Infineon Technologies, with the use of HighTec C/C ++ Compiler Suite toolchain and HighTec PXROS-HR real-time operating system. We make use of development methodologies suited to ensure code quality, for example following MISRA rules and IEC 61508 / ISO26262 standards for safety-critical applications. We support the customer in the whole project cycle: from requirements' analysis, to development, from testing to the drafting of final documentation. By nature attentive to innovative technologies, we offer ourselves as the ideal partner for all those professional firms and those small and medium-sized companies that for various reasons need external support or want to outsource some of their processes: • Design and development of complete applications and systems. • Design and development of firmware and software applications, both stand-alone and as modules of more complex systems. • Design and development of software drivers and user interfaces. • Porting on different targets of already available solutions. • Writing of complete project documentation as well as of manuals. • Support in IEC 61508 / ISO 26262 certification. • Translation of already available documentation and localization of user interfaces. • Writing and translation of brochures, catalogues, manuals, etc.
