Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Crodeon is a legitimate Belgian IoT hardware company (est. 2015) offering the 'Reporter' sensor module, a practical solution for remote monitoring. However, the submission data is extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and vague details ('everyone' as audience). While the technology has verifiable real-world utility and the company has survived for nearly a decade with a small team (1-10 employees), the submission's lack of credibility and the niche B2B nature of the product result in a low overall score.
