Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Orca IoT is a legitimate business established in 2019, providing solar-powered, cellular-connected construction cameras and software with verifiable traction (Procore partnership, major brand clients). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and nonsensical revenue data ('marketcap 50000'). The Proof of Usefulness score acknowledges the company's real-world utility and existing market presence but is heavily penalized by the poor reliability of the submitted evidence.
