You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate Italian B2B entity (MAC Things S.r.l.) specializing in industrial automation and IoT. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and audience reach of 'everyone'). While the business appears operational with potential revenue in the €500k range (inferred from 'marketcap' data), the lack of verifiable product details ('FrostShade' is mentioned but not described) and the unprofessional nature of the response result in a low score. The project is a standard service-based consultancy rather than a scalable technology product based on the provided evidence.
