Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Oden Technologies is a verifiable Series B industrial IoT company with significant funding (~$52M) and revenue (~$12M), validating high real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, providing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing key metrics. The score reflects the strong external reality of the business, heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence and effort in the application.
