PureAox presents a standard IoT-enabled air purification solution with claims of material science innovation (Aluminum Oxide modification). However, the submission is severely undermined by hyperbolic and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('marketcap' in revenue field). While the project appears to be a legitimate small business based in Canada with a functional website and specific regional targeting (e.g., Iran), it lacks independent validation, media coverage, or evidence of the 'breakthrough' technology. The discrepancy between the claimed reach ('everyone') and the lack of third-party footprint results in a low score.
