Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Mero Technologies is a verified, established IoT proptech company based in Toronto with significant B2B traction (500+ facilities, including Pearson Airport and Colliers). The project demonstrates high real-world utility by optimizing cleaning labor and supplies, a critical need in post-pandemic facility management. While the submission itself contained errors (incorrect project name 'SwiftForge', vague claims like 'most people have used my product', and missing financial metrics), external verification confirms a team size of ~29 and credible market presence. The score reflects strong underlying business fundamentals dampened by the low quality of the submission data.
