You're In Business

Resolute Photonics is a legitimate UK-based deep-tech consultancy led by Dr. Richard Pitwon (51 patents, Fellow IET/IoP), focusing on critical optical interconnects for data centers and 5G. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing data (revenue listed as 'marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying technology and leadership are innovative and timely, the submission's lack of accuracy and the niche B2B nature of the actual business heavily penalize the Commercial and Traction scores.
