You're In Business

iSurgical3D is a verifiable, established health-tech company (est. 2010) providing high-utility patient-specific implants. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and failing to provide verifiable evidence of traction. While the company's actual real-world utility is high, the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the lack of credible data provided in the submission and the false reach claims.
