Prospect Control is a verified Australian industrial automation consultancy specializing in IoT integration (using technologies like Thinxtra and Ubidots) for sectors such as water and power. However, the submission is heavily penalized for hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people' have used the product), which contradict the niche B2B reality of the business. The reported financial metric ('all time marketcap: 500000') is non-standard and suggests a small-scale operation (~$500k revenue), placing it in the 'Small/Minimal Traction' category relative to the calibration scale.
