Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Aqusense is a legitimate, venture-backed Canadian startup (Seed raised ~$800K) developing impressive Wi-Fi sensing technology with patents cited by major tech firms (Google, Samsung). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 50000'). While the technology (802.11bf alignment, Human Presence Detection) is innovative and timely, the discrepancy between the sloppy submission and the actual corporate reality results in a score that reflects high potential but minimal verified user traction to date.
