Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project appears to be a defunct or amalgamated entity (merged into Onward Solutions Inc. in 2022) with no verifiable current market presence. The submission contains significant red flags, including demonstrably false claims of traction ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical technical data (listing 'leadership' as a technology). No evidence exists for a smart home product named 'IronClaw' by this company; the name likely refers to a popular gaming mouse from a different manufacturer.
