Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Datacake is a legitimate, verified low-code IoT platform with established market presence (~12k users, ~€3.25M valuation). However, the submission itself is of very poor quality, containing significant exaggerations (claiming '125' team members vs ~15 verified, and 'everyone' as audience) and unverifiable statements ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the project's genuine high utility and verified traction, heavily penalized for the submission's inaccuracy and lack of professional detail.
