Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission presents a legitimate Greek IoT integrator ('Ithaca Destination Smart S.A.') under the incorrect name 'StarClaw'. While the company has verifiable B2G traction with municipal LoRaWAN projects (e.g., Kavala, Ios Island), the submission is heavily penalized for incoherent metadata (name mismatch), false audience claims ('everyone'), and hyperbolic traction statements ('most people have used my product'). The company is a standard regional integrator using third-party technology (UW SoftCode), offering practical utility but limited innovation or global scalability.
