+156
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project URL points to a legitimate early-stage semiconductor company (ASA Microsystems) specializing in IoT SoCs. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing nonsensical financial claims ('marketcap: 50000'), false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and a generic user handle ('SwiftShade'). While the underlying technology and market sector (IoT Edge) are promising, the discrepancy between the verifiable company status and the amateurish submission data necessitates a low score, treating it as an early-stage venture with poor validation.
