Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a regional B2B industrial automation service rather than a scalable technology product. While the underlying business appears to address genuine industrial needs (PLC programming, IoT, etc.), the submission is severely compromised by unrealistic claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and a lack of verifiable digital footprint comparable to tech startups. The 'marketcap' figure is ambiguous and low for a 24-year-old company. The project scores low due to its hyper-local nature, lack of software innovation, and poor submission quality.
