Category Standard

The project refers to Smarter Technologies Group Ltd (UK), a legitimate mid-sized IoT and asset-tracking company established in 2019 (distinct from the 2025 US healthcare merger of the same name). Verified financials show ~£15M in net assets and government/blue-chip contracts (e.g., Orion Data Network), confirming high utility and traction despite the user's exaggerated submission claims (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone'). The submission quality is extremely poor, but the underlying business is a verified, revenue-generating entity with significant physical infrastructure.
