Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Antimetal is a verified Series A startup (backed by Framework Ventures, roughly $24M funding) offering AI-driven AWS cost optimization with a buyback guarantee. While the project itself has high real-world utility and verified traction, the specific submission received is of extremely low quality (fake name 'ShadowHunter', false claims like 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high value of the underlying technology and verified business status, significantly penalized by the unreliable submission data.
