The submission describes 'Archipelagos Labs', a verified entity involved in environmental IoT and 5G agricultural pilots (e.g., Growing Sussex). However, the submission data is of extremely poor quality, containing false hyperbolic claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and irrelevant placeholders (name: 'BlazeShade'). While the underlying project has genuine B2B utility and institutional partnerships, the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the lack of verifiable evidence in the submission and the inclusion of demonstrably false reach metrics.
