Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ActivArmor is a legitimate medical technology company offering custom 3D-printed casts with FDA clearance and verifiable patient history (thousands of treated patients). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and missing key data ('marketcap: null'). While the technology has high real-world utility and verified innovation, the project's current scale (est. <$1M annual revenue, <50k users) and the poor submission quality place it in the 'Minimal Traction' scoring range relative to the calibration benchmarks.
