You're In Business

PATS is a legitimate Western Australian engineering consultancy with verifiable operations and a team of ~30 professionals, despite the low-quality submission. The user falsely claimed 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as having used the product, which severely damaged the credibility of the entry. While the underlying business provides real-world utility in the mining/resources sector, the submission fails to distinguish it as a scalable technology project, presenting it instead with spam-like metadata.
