Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'ActiveBuildings' is a verifiable, established Indian startup (founded 2016) offering indoor air quality solutions with verifiable traction (~$488k USD revenue, 19 employees, corporate clients like Reliance and Curefoods). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 170000'). While the real-world utility and verified business metrics justify a score comparable to an established small business (comparable to the 'HackerNoon' benchmark of ~333), the score is penalized by the low quality of the submission and the discrepancy between the user's claims and reality.
