The project proposes a COVID-era thermal imaging solution for fever detection. While the core technology has some real-world utility in industrial health screening, the submission is riddled with severe red flags. Claims like 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' for traction are entirely unsupported and highly exaggerated. A stated 'marketcap' of 50000 with a team size of 125 is mathematically nonsensical, demonstrating poor response quality and lack of verifiable traction. Market timing is also poor for 2026.

Description
Thermal cameras are forming the first line of defense for workplaces, retail environments, and industries faced with managing the risks associated with a global pandemic. Our technology detects and warns of potentially feverish or contagious personnel, through screening for elevated body temperatures, employing the latest in next generation thermal imaging and AI technology.Thermavis thermal cameras are sensitive devices capable of measuring finite temperature variations. Our technology has been tuned to be most sensitive and accurate to the range of human body temperatures, from 36°C (96.8°F) to 42°C (107.6°F) Thermavis products offer additional business critical functionality beyond temperature measurement such as audit recordings, and facial mask recognition. Thermavis products have been designed to be easy to use, yet functional.
