+170
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Fingoti Limited is a verifiable UK-based manufacturer of IoT infrastructure products (e.g., Fingoti Pebble), demonstrating real-world utility in the B2B/developer niche. However, the submission suffers significantly from exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') which contradict the niche nature of the hardware. The reported 'marketcap' of 500,000 is ambiguous (likely valuation or revenue) and indicates a micro-cap or early-stage status, far below the scale implied by the traction claims. The score reflects the existence of a legitimate product but penalizes the lack of verifiable evidence, poor submission quality, and unrealistic reach assertions.
