Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Pelion is a verified, significant player in the IoT connectivity space, originally a division of Arm. With a reported team size of 350, it falls into the 'Much larger scale' category, validating high traction and utility despite the poor quality of the specific submission data (e.g., claiming 'most people' as users and confusing market cap with revenue). The project demonstrates strong real-world utility and technical sophistication, but the PoU score is dampened by the vague and hyperbolic claims provided in the input form.
