FireAngel is a major established player in home safety with verifiable protection of over 25 million homes and 80 million devices installed, placing it in the top tier of real-world utility and reach. While the submission itself was low-effort (copy-pasted description, lazy data fields), the underlying entity is a substantial industrial manufacturer with verified large-scale traction and critical life-saving utility. The score reflects this high intrinsic value and mass adoption, adjusted for the maturity of the tech and the quality of the submission.
