Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Microthingz appears to be a small side project or consulting firm established in 2019, primarily offering remote monitoring solutions and seemingly unrelated IT courses. The project submission is heavily penalized for unrealistic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and confusing metrics ('all time marketcap: 50000'). External verification shows the founder holds a separate full-time job, and the business footprint is minimal, lacking the traction or scale to support a team of 6. The mix of IoT services and hacking courses suggests a lack of strategic focus.
