Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Laiwa Communication Ltd. is a legitimate UK-based IoT company (founded 2018) addressing critical infrastructure needs like sewer spill monitoring. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('everyone' is the audience, 'most people have used my product'). While the technology (Edge AI, NB-IoT) has high real-world utility and market timing given current environmental regulations, the lack of verifiable traction data and the unprofessional submission severely penalize the score. The project is a valid niche B2B hardware business mispresented as a mass-market consumer product.
