Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Anypayload is a legitimate, functioning business based in Austria offering IoT sensor payload decoders. External verification confirms enterprise clients (e.g., Wien Energie) and a clear B2B value proposition, contradicting the submission's low-effort claims. While the product has high utility for IoT integrators, the submission significantly damaged the score by claiming the audience is 'everyone' (it is a niche B2B tool) and providing vague metrics ('marketcap: 500000', likely meaning €500k revenue or valuation). The low score reflects the niche nature of the product and the poor quality of the submission data, despite the project's real-world validity.
