Gaining Momentum

The submission describes 'PACE-Systems UG', a small German embedded systems engineering firm (established 2016, ~6 employees). While the core business of control engineering has high real-world utility, the submission suffers from significant quality issues, including an unrealistic audience claim ('everyone'), confused financial metrics ('marketcap' listed as revenue), and a mismatch between the project name 'CrimsonForge' and the company description. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is plausible only if they supply components to major automotive/consumer OEMs, but no evidence was provided to substantiate this. The project appears to be a legitimate but small service-based business with a low-effort submission.
