Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a legitimate, long-standing B2B trade show (Intelligent Building Systems) with strong market relevance in IoT and Smart Buildings. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing verifiable falsehoods (e.g., claiming reach is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'). While the underlying business has utility and history (since 2009), the 'Proof of Usefulness' is heavily penalized by the lack of credible data provided in the input, resulting in a score that reflects a real business misrepresented by a poor application.
