You're In Business

The submission describes 'Shrine Development', a verifiable software agency, but is submitted under the name 'DeepStorm' with conflicting data. While the agency appears legitimate and profitable (launch 2017), the submission suffers from hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone' audience) and low-quality data entry. The project is evaluated as a service business with standard utility but low scalability and innovation in this context.
