The project submission describes 'Microdex', a UK-based electronic design consultancy (Microdex Ltd) that was dissolved in July 2024. The submission contains significant red flags: the company is no longer active, the project name 'ShadowGale' (a likely user alias or gaming reference) mismatches the description, and the claims of reaching 'everyone' and having a market cap of 2.5M are hyperbolic or inaccurate for a small, now-defunct private firm. Current utility and traction are effectively zero.
