+218
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission contains significant inaccuracies, including a mismatched project name ('WhisperShade' is an unrelated US product) and false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). However, the underlying entity, 'IoT Solutions Group Ltd' (iotsg.co.uk), is a verifiable UK-based B2B company founded in 2018. They have raised ~$668k in seed funding and provide legitimate IoT solutions for social housing (damp/mould monitoring) and waste management. The score reflects the real-world utility of the actual business, heavily penalized for the false claims and low-quality submission data.
