Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Kloudspot is a legitimate, high-traction B2B platform (est. $39M revenue, 125+ employees) offering valuable situational awareness and IoT analytics. Key partners include Cisco Meraki and AWS. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, submitted by a likely impersonator or careless tester ('BlazeFang'), containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified market position of the actual company, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the necessary discount for submission credibility.

Description
The Kloudspot Platform uses data collected from Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, environmental sensors and connected cameras, married with artificial intelligence (AI), to convert the physical actions and movements of people and devices into digitally treatable data, and extract meaningful insights. With these insights, it’s easy to develop rules that trigger engagements in the physical world. And the platform continually learns and optimizes those engagements on its own through advanced AI and ML.\nWhile there are numerous use cases for Kloudspot, demand today is coming largely from organizations seeking to re-open safely where PPE detection, footfall and density analytics, contactless temperature scanning and secure, one-click contract tracing are critical, as well as from state and local governments with Smart City initiatives looking to ensure citizen and visitor safety, stimulate economic growth and monetize IT investments.
