Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

BuildStorm appears to be an established IoT and embedded software services company (founded ~2016) attempting to pivot into SaaS products (7human, MetricStorm). However, the submission is critically flawed by hyperbolic, unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and a lack of concrete data on revenue, users, or team size. While the longevity of the domain suggests some legitimate business activity, the absence of evidence and the low-effort response result in a low score, placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' category.
