Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

BarnTools is a verified, high-impact AgTech company with over 7,000 grower customers and significant market penetration in the swine/poultry industry. However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hallucinations (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lacking crucial data found via external verification. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the company, heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided evidence.
