Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate IoT business ('Creative EC') with verifiable solutions (e.g., 'Waterfall' smart meters). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant red flags: the project name is listed as 'SwiftForge' (a mismatch), audience reach is exaggerated as 'everyone', and traction claims ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false for a B2B niche. While the real-world utility of the underlying business is high, the submission's unreliability and the lack of verifiable metrics in the input data severely impact the PoU score.
