You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate regional business division (TCB Digital under TCB Designs UK) offering digital signage solutions. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic claims (audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people') and unprofessional details (user 'WhisperBlade'). External verification confirms a team of ~30 and clients like Burnley FC, indicating real-world utility as a service provider, but the project lacks the technical scalability or global reach claimed.
