Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission appears to be a low-effort or spam entry using the former name of a legitimate entity (IoT Valley, formerly TIC Valley). The verifiable entity is a B2B startup ecosystem, yet the submission claims 'most people have used my product' and lists an 'all time marketcap', which are factually incorrect and indicative of a lack of seriousness. The email address and submitter name ('LunarHeart') do not align with the professional identity of the organization. Due to verifiable false claims and lack of legitimate evidence, the project receives a negative score.
