Gaining Momentum

Pestrac is a registered Australian entity (active since 2021) with a verified international patent application (WO2022246508A1) for IoT pest monitoring. While the technical foundation and legal existence are verified, the submission itself contains significant exaggerations regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') which contradict the lack of a public web presence. The project shows promise as an early-stage hardware/IoT startup but currently lacks verifiable market adoption.
