You're In Business

IoT CI is a verified local IoT consultancy and integrator based in the Channel Islands (Jersey/Guernsey). External search confirms the business exists, founded by an ex-Telco consultant, with verified B2B partnerships (e.g., Andium Homes, Digital Jersey) and offerings in asset tracking and home automation. However, the project submission contains significant exaggerations (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone') which severely impacted the Audience Reach and Response Quality scores. The project is a functional SME with local utility but lacks the global scale or technical novelty to score higher against the calibration benchmark.
