You're In Business

MANA Consult is a legitimate, verified environmental engineering consultancy based in Europe, specializing in numerical modeling and IoT solutions. The founder holds a PhD and the firm is listed in relevant industry registries (ARTES 4.0). However, the project submission itself is of very low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). While the underlying business has high real-world utility and technical competence in a niche market, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable scalable traction and the exaggerated claims in the submission.
