Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Sat4M2M is a verified German space-tech company (founded 2014) developing satellite IoT solutions with hardware deployed on the International Space Station (ISS) and backing from ESA and the EU (verified €2.5M grant matching the submission's 'marketcap' figure). While the submission contains low-quality, exaggerated claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people used it'), the underlying project possesses high technical innovation and real-world utility for industrial asset tracking. The score reflects strong R&D traction and deep-tech value, tempered by a lack of broad commercial scaling signals and poor submission quality.
