You're In Business

Stitched is a verifiable UK-based e-commerce brand for custom window treatments with a focus on sustainability. While the business is operational with positive customer sentiment (~370 Trustpilot reviews), the PoU submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data. The project falls into the 'Minimal traction' category relative to the calibration scale (<50K users), and the score reflects the penalty for unsubstantiated claims despite the existence of a legitimate underlying business.
