Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a plausible B2B energy consultancy (Hogen Energy) utilizing IoT for efficiency. However, the submission quality is critically low. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone' are objectively false for a niche B2B service. The submitter alias and lack of verifiable data further degrade credibility. While the underlying business utility is valid (energy savings), the Proof of Usefulness is minimal due to unsupported and exaggerated inputs.
