Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

2KR Systems (SnowSentry) is a legitimate industrial IoT company solving a critical problem (roof collapse prevention) with verifiable R&D traction, including a $1M NSF grant and patents. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and usage ('most people'). While the technology and market relevance are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable commercial adoption data and the unreliability of the submitted metrics.
