Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Agteq is a verifiable early-stage AgTech startup (participating in Nvidia Inception and Next AI), but the submission is severely compromised by false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), vague targeting ('everyone'), and poor technical descriptions ('Farming'). While the underlying problem-solution fit shows promise, the lack of honest verifiable metrics and the low-quality submission triggers heavy penalties, placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' category.
