Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Amber Agriculture is a legitimate, venture-backed AgTech company (YC W17, Series A) with verifiable high-utility technology for grain monitoring. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and missing data. The score reflects the strong external reality of the business (funding, patents, farmer usage) heavily penalized by the submission's negligence and inaccuracies.
