Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'NeuroMesh' appears to be a submission representing a defunct IoT security startup originally founded in 2016 at MIT. External verification confirms the company ceased operations in October 2021. The submission contains significant inaccuracies, such as claiming the audience reach is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product', which are demonstrably false. The provided URL (neuromesh.co) is associated with the inactive entity, distinct from a newer, unrelated project using a similar name (neuro-mesh.io). Due to the project's defunct status, lack of current utility, and the low-quality, exaggerated nature of the submission (e.g., contact name 'IronBlade'), the Proof of Usefulness score is minimal.
