Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Adiona Tech is a high-utility B2B logistics platform with verifiable enterprise traction (Coca-Cola, StarTrack, Amazon partners) and significant environmental impact (35M+ deliveries optimized). While the submission itself was low-effort (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), external validation confirms robust technology, prestigious awards (SCLAA Startup of the Year), and Tier-1 investors. The project scores highly on utility and verified traction, but is penalized for submission quality and the niche nature of its direct user base compared to consumer-facing giants.
