The submission features severe exaggerations and unsupported claims, such as stating 'most people have used my product' and defining its audience as 'everyone.' The monthly revenue field contains nonsensical token/crypto jargon ('all time marketcap: 500000') rather than actual business metrics. While the concept of AI-driven consumer psychometrics has real-world utility and market relevance, the responses provided lack verifiable traction, technical depth, and basic credibility, resulting in a very low PoU score.

Description
We use AI and very big data to offer affordable next-generation consumer insight at speed. Oregon Technology is a tiny digital-research lab conducting very BIG, very ACCURATE research into the PERSONALITY of every consumer, in every sector, in every demographic. We provide meaningful, actionable reports using our own AI-driven social psychometric tools. We call our process SENSE. What do we do? We help brand owners and marketing companies, whatever your size, boost sales, spend more wisely and really connect with your audience using consumer psychometrics. It’s an emerging field, one which we helped to establish in 2016. To achieve our goals and those of our clients, we use our own technology called “SENSE” to gather and analyse Big Data providing incredible insights, 81% of which are invisible to standard, old-school social listening tools. This combination of very clever technology and bright people, in a small research driven proposition, makes Oregon Technology one of the most exciting newbies on the scene. We work in all sectors including retail, B2B, Pharma and 3rd sector. And we’re incredibly cost effective due to the investments we’ve already made.
