Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Airgraft is a verifiable Series B hardware company (raising ~$33M) with legitimate proprietary vaporization technology and a presence in the Canadian and Californian markets. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims about reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing key financial data. While the underlying technology and business traction are strong (scoring high on innovation and utility), the final score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the input, necessitating independent verification to confirm the company's actual standing.
