The submission contains significant discrepancies and verifiable inaccuracies. While 'IoTisan Ltd.' is a legitimate, recently incorporated (2023) consultancy in Sheffield, the project name 'ThunderFang' appears unrelated (matching a Lego Ninjago character). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a small, local B2B consultancy. Financial metrics are confused ('marketcap' listed as revenue). The submission fails to provide credible evidence of traction or utility for a specific product.
