Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project verified as 'Battery Smart', a major Series-B funded Indian EV infrastructure company with ~$33M annual revenue and $450M+ valuation. Despite the low-quality submission (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), independent verification confirms exceptional real-world utility, massive traction (50M+ swaps), and strong market timing in India's EV sector. The score reflects the high verified value of the company, significantly penalized only in the 'Response Quality' metric due to the poor data entry.
