The project appears to represent a legitimate niche service provider for Tridium Niagara 4 automation systems, but the submission is severely compromised by hyperbolic and inaccurate claims. While the core utility for building automation is valid, the claims that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people' have used the product are objectively false. Additionally, the revenue metric is confusingly labeled as 'marketcap'. The low score reflects the disconnect between a potentially viable B2B business and a low-quality, exaggerated submission.
