You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate academic research entity (Translational Medical Device Lab at University of Galway) but suffers critically from a low-quality submission. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and unverifiable, contradicting the specialized nature of medical device research. While the field is high-utility, the submission fails to provide specific details on the project 'SwiftStorm' or evidence of its individual success, resulting in a low score despite the credibility of the parent institution.
