As I read your post, I assume it is not a company but a product. Other than for advertising, there are almost no products for use on a lawn that can't be purchased under several brand names.

Top dressing a lawn makes little sense. We have sandy clay. Your grass is or should be rooted down about 8 inches. To change the soils significantly you would need to add about two inches of organic matter and get it into the top 8 inches. Fuzzy math-about 50 lbs of manure per 100 sq ft.
