Or it could send a design team down thousands of dollars in false positives/false negatives. With zero benchmarks provided, it is very fair to question a product that could have material negative impacts on a hardware team.

The tool would ideally classify the output into levels. Just like a compiler or DRC checker. If you submit a clean design, the tool should not be throwing major flags. 99% of the time you should be getting advisory outputs, which should not be tricking any designer. The 1% red flags should easily be understood and if you, as the designer, can't discern them, perhaps you don't understand the fundamentals of your own design.
