Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ateios Systems is a verified deep-tech startup with significant potential in battery manufacturing, despite a low-quality submission. Search verifies ~$4M in funding, partnerships with Kodak and the DoD, and 'World's First' solvent-free electrode technology. While the submission's claims of 'everyone' using the product are false (it is B2B), the actual traction (commercial orders, shipping to OEMs) and high technical innovation justify a strong score. The project outperforms the baseline media brand due to high hard-tech utility and market timing.
