Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Minibems is a verified, legitimate industrial IoT platform for heat networks that merged with Evinox in 2023, demonstrating significant real-world utility and sector relevance (decarbonization). External verification confirms ~15,000 units deployed and ~$6M in prior funding. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and inaccurate financial data. The score reflects the high value of the underlying project, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission itself.
