Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

GyroPalm is a legitimate hardware project with verified patents and over $1M in funding/grants (NSF, Crowdfunding), distinguishing it from vaporware. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 50000'). While technical innovation is high (award-winning wearable gesture control), actual user adoption is niche (industrial/developer) rather than the claimed 'everyone'. The score reflects valid underlying technology severely penalized by inaccurate submission data.
