Padi.io is a legitimate B2B IoT/Digital Twin platform led by industry veterans (Anto Budiardjo), but the submission contains severe inaccuracies and red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche building automation tool. The revenue metric ('marketcap: 50000') is incoherent, possibly confusing the company with a low-cap crypto token or representing negligible equity value. While the underlying technology (Connection Profiles) has merit in the smart building sector, the submission's lack of serious data and realistic reach estimates results in a critical score reduction.
