IOmeter is a legitimate Berlin-based hardware startup offering smart meter interfaces with verified utility in the German energy market. External search confirms the product exists, is sold via major retailers (Conrad, Reichelt), and has approximately 10,000 customers. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 50000'). While the technical implementation and market timing are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the exaggerated reach claims.
