The project 'Pluraf Embedded AB' exists as an early-stage Swedish IoT company developing 'IoT+Plan'. However, the submission is critically flawed by hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and low-effort data (Tech: 'Internet'). While the website shows legitimate technical work in progress (Gateway Nodes, MQTT), the mismatch between the submission's grandiose claims and the verifiable reality of a small, residential-based startup results in a minimal score.
