Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Gritus Technology appears to be a legitimate Hong Kong-based smart vending solution established in 2017. However, the submission provides critically insufficient evidence, relying on hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') without supporting metrics. While independent verification suggests the company has regional market presence, the 'Proof of Usefulness' methodology heavily penalizes the lack of detailed, verifiable data in the submission itself. The score reflects a functional business model undercut by a failure to demonstrate its scale or innovation in the application.
