Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Tektelic is a substantial, established B2B player in the LoRaWAN/IoT hardware space (est. $35M-$45M annual revenue, 100+ employees), far exceeding the scale of typical project submissions. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('everyone'). The high score reflects the verifiable external reality of the business's utility and traction, heavily penalized by the low quality of the submission inputs.
