Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Aikenist appears to be a legitimate MedTech startup offering AI-driven MRI acceleration solutions (QuickScan), which demonstrates high real-world utility and technical competence. However, the project submission contains heavily exaggerated and unverifiable claims, such as a $14 billion market cap and 'most people' as users, which contradict its actual status as a seed/early-stage company (team size 1-10). These discrepancies severely impacted the Traction and Response Quality scores, placing the project in the 'Minimal Traction' range despite its technical promise.
