The submission conflates two distinct entities: 'Synaptic' (synaptic.com), a Series B alternative data startup for investors, and 'Synaptics Inc.' (synaptics.com), a publicly traded human interface hardware company founded in 1986. While the provided URL and description match the startup, the metrics (1700 employees, 1986 launch, $2.7B market cap) and traction claims ('most people have used my product') belong to the public company. The evaluation scores the actual startup at synaptic.com (which has ~$6M revenue and $26M funding) but applies significant penalties to Audience Reach, Traction, and Response Quality due to the inaccurate and misleading submission data.
