Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Awair is a legitimate, Series C funded company with significant revenue (~$3.4M) and verified hardware products in the indoor air quality market. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'space-technology'). While the underlying business has real traction (6,000+ business clients, 85,000+ app downloads), recent controversies regarding API access (PlanetWatch) and the lazy submission quality result in heavy penalties to the score.
