Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Toumetis presents a theoretically strong use case with real-world utility in predicting and mitigating power outages for utility companies via IIoT and data science. The company appears established with a team of 125. However, the application suffers severely from poor response quality, featuring unsubstantiated and absurd claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' as audience reach), which drastically reduces confidence in traction and impact. The score reflects a solid fundamental problem-solution fit heavily penalized for lack of verifiable details and low-quality submission inputs.
