Category Standard

ITC AG is a verified, established German software provider (founded ~1997) serving the utility sector with over 450 enterprise customers (B2B). While the project has significant real-world utility in critical infrastructure (energy/water management), the submission itself contains major inaccuracies (claiming 10,001 employees vs. actual ~50-100, and 'everyone' reach vs. B2B niche). The 'ThunderRider' persona and data errors suggest a low-effort submission for a legitimate, high-value business.
