Newjoule appears to be a legitimate, albeit small, Tunisian engineering firm focused on IoT energy management solutions. However, the submission is critically undermined by hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and a lack of verifiable metrics. While the core business of energy optimization is relevant, the submission's use of a pseudonym, confusion between valuation and 'marketcap', and absence of concrete traction data result in a low score typical of early-stage projects with poor documentation.
