SwiftForge (Kito.io) presents as a small-scale IoT prototyping and consulting agency rather than a scalable technology product. The submission is heavily penalized for hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience), which severely undermine credibility. While the project has a long history (since 2015), the claimed 'marketcap' of 500,000 over 9 years suggests minimal financial traction for a 6-person team. The technical description is vague ('Electrical & Electronic Manufacturing' is an industry, not a stack). The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category due to poor data quality and lack of verifiable growth signals.
