You're In Business

Mercian Medical appears to be a legitimate, albeit niche, consultancy firm specializing in market access for medical devices. However, the project submission is of critically low quality, containing factually impossible claims (audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people have used my product') and misused financial terminology ('marketcap' for a private service business). While the core service has valid B2B utility, the lack of technical innovation (purely service-based), the modest implied revenue per capita (~$350k/year total for 6 staff), and the unverifiable/false data provided in the submission result in a very low score.
