Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

GOTOIoT is a verifiable French startup (Telecom Paris incubator, Capgemini Handilab award winner) developing useful IoT solutions for healthcare (Alzheimer's monitoring) and logistics. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000' likely refers to valuation, not revenue). While the real-world utility and verified external traction save the score, the submission's lack of professionalism and inaccurate data severely penalize the final rating.
