SOSoft appears to be a legitimate but small R&D consultancy linked to Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, focused on niche areas like embedded systems and security. However, the submission is critically flawed: it makes demonstrably false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), lacks any verifiable product details, and uses incorrect financial terminology ('marketcap' for a private SME). While the entity exists, the project submission fails to demonstrate meaningful utility or scale.
