This is a long one. TL;DR they're mystery meat and I'd avoid.
Adept is a company, originally Diamond Age, that has been around for about eight years and during that time has obtained zero NIJ certifications. Their business addresses have ranged from a "Lockout Supplements" at 344 E. Louisiana St. McKinney, TX 75069, back when they were Diamond Age, to the now-removed address from their current site - 4401 S. 72nd E. Ave, Tulsa, OK, 74145, which is shared with a carboline location and a midwest logistics LLC. No known real address.
Adept is owned and operated by an A. Jacob Ganor (aka Jacob Ganor). He originally founded Diamond Age in Canada with a Stephanie Z. Cui.

Ganor has abandoned patents linking him back to Hong Kong.

So why is this all important? Nobody knows where Adept's plates are manufactured, they have no NIJ certifications, and many of their products from back when they were Diamond Age, such as the Bastion M855A1-rated helmet and the N1 sub-5lb multi-hit boron nitride Level IV, turned out to be for the most part vaporware.
Interestingly enough, there was a patent filed a month prior to the Colossus being unveiled that detailed a SiC-TiB2 strike face. https://patents.google.com/patent/CN111348920B. Guess what the Colossus uses?
So now I'll answer your question more directly. Adept sells mystery meat (but quite possibly Chinese material, which isn't a killer IMO but that still raises concerns about quality control - no certs) plates with no certifications that perform well on youtube (affiliates, mind you), but have no known professional users. They use lots of buzzwords to drum up mediocre plates like that Mantis. It is more expensive than an LTC 19513 and is not rated to stop M855A1. It is an UHMWPE plate with a thin titanium strike face so it doesn't get its ass beat by M855.
