+385
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

LM Technologies is a verified, established UK-based manufacturer (est. 2004) of Bluetooth and WiFi modules with confirmed distribution partners like Mouser and Newark. While the project demonstrates high real-world utility in the B2B IoT sector, the submission quality is exceptionally poor—making vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and confusing financial metrics. External verification confirms a legitimate SME status (~$2M-$5M revenue range), though the claimed team size of 125 appears exaggerated compared to public records showing 10-25 core employees. The score reflects a solid, functional business penalized for a low-effort submission.
