The project submission describes 'Pixinov', a French embedded systems engineering firm that, according to public records (MyFrenchStartup, Societe.com), appears to have ceased operations/liquidated around July 2020. The name 'ThunderForge' appears unrelated to the company description, suggesting a potential copy-paste error or misuse of a defunct company's profile. Claims of 'everyone' audience reach and 'most people have used my product' are unsubstantiated and highly improbable for a small, niche B2B consultancy. The 'marketcap' figure is confusingly labeled and unverifiable. Due to the defunct status and questionable claims, the Real-World Utility and Traction scores are heavily penalized.
