The project 'Pragmelec' presents as an industrial automation service, but the submission suffers from critical credibility issues. Despite a claimed launch in 2011, there is no verifiable digital footprint for the domain 'pragmelec.fr' or the company name in French business registries (specifically in the implied 78310 postal code area). The submission includes highly unrealistic claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') which are red flags for a niche B2B service. The revenue metric ('500000 marketcap') is ambiguous and low for a 13-year-old 6-person team. While the described utility (automation/retrofitting) is valid, the lack of evidence results in a minimal score.
