Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Wiom (formerly i2e1) is a verifiable Series A telecom startup in India aggregating PM-WANI compliant public Wi-Fi, with significant funding (~$17M) and reach. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing vague claims ('most people'), generic descriptions ('analytics, banking'), and lacking specific metrics found in external audits. The score reflects high real-world utility and traction, heavily penalized for poor response quality and unsupported claims in the text.
