VitalSignum Oy offers a legitimate, CE-marked medical device (Beat2Phone ECG) with clear clinical utility for arrhythmia detection. However, the project submission contains severe inaccuracies and hyperbolic claims that contradict verifiable data. While the submission claims a team of 30 and that 'most people have used my product,' official Finnish financial records from 2024 indicate only 2 employees and annual revenue of approximately €37,000 (down 35% year-over-year). The claim of a 17,000,000 market cap is unsupported by these fundamentals. The project scores well on technical legitimacy but fails on commercial traction, reach, and response integrity.
