CENTO Software is a legitimate, established Industrial IoT and energy management platform with verifiable B2B utility. Search confirms the company exists (San Diego based) and integrates with major industrial hardware (SATEC, Beckhoff). However, the project submission itself was of low quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims in the metadata (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying reality of the business (70+ industrial sites, verifiable tech) while penalizing the poor response quality and inaccurate self-reported metrics.
