Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Agtonomy is a verified Series B ag-tech company (raised ~$64M) addressing critical agricultural labor shortages with AI-driven automation. Despite the project's high real-world value, technical sophistication, and strong market traction (partnerships with Bobcat, Kubota), the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lazy data. The score reflects the project's high intrinsic merit, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality.
