Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Wi4B is a legitimate, established Italian IoT company (est. 2009) specializing in mission-critical infrastructure for smart cities, with verified deployments of over 100,000 devices and international hubs. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people') and confusing financial terminology ('marketcap: 500000'). The score reflects the verified high utility and traction of the actual company, significantly dampened by the submission's lack of professionalism and accuracy.
