Neuko.io is a verifiable, functional IoT cloud platform that offers managed services, SDKs, and data visualization, likely based in Southeast Asia (evidenced by 'Tech in Asia' attendance). However, the project submission is severely compromised by hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used the product, listing a 1997 launch date for a modern .io cloud platform). While the technology appears to have genuine utility for developers, the credibility gap created by the submission's exaggerated traction and reach claims significantly penalizes the score. It is an early-stage challenger in a crowded market, not the ubiquitous tool claimed.
