Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Project is a verified high-growth hardware startup (Caye Technology) with significant VC backing (~$14M Series A) and a manufacturing facility in Suzhou (10k+ unit capacity). While the submission input was low-quality (hyperbolic claims like 'everyone', ambiguous revenue data), external search confirms strong real-world utility, nearly 200 patents, and international distribution partners. The 'Smart X' series is a legitimate commercial product. The score reflects high technical merit and traction, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission data.
