The project 'Trackingthing' presents severe credibility issues. While the concept of supply chain IoT is useful, the submission contains major contradictions: claiming 200,000+ deployed devices (a massive enterprise scale) while listing a 2023 launch date, a team of 6, and a 'marketcap' of 500,000 (a metric often associated with crypto tokens or misunderstood valuation, inconsistent with hardware manufacturing scale). The claim that 'most people have used my product' and the audience is 'everyone' further indicates a lack of serious business targeting or a fabricated submission. Search results yield no evidence of a logistics company with this name or scale.
