Gaining Momentum

The project 'ATMO' (Atmotube) represents a legitimate and socially useful hardware product for air quality monitoring. The device (Atmotube PRO) and its B2B counterpart (Atmocube) address a genuine problem with proven sensor technology. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing verifiable hallucinations (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product') and missing critical business data (revenue, active users). While the product's existence and utility are verified externally, the PoU score is significantly penalized due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the unrealistic claims regarding audience reach.
