The submission describes an IoT water leak detection solution, which has potential real-world utility. However, the entry is severely compromised by incomplete descriptions, lack of technical detail, and hyperbolic, unverifiable claims regarding traction (claiming 'most people' have used it). The revenue metric cites 'marketcap', suggesting either a confusion of financial terms or a cryptocurrency project context, which contradicts the 'Utilities' classification. The low score reflects the lack of verifiable evidence and poor submission quality.
