Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Bert Labs is a verifiable AI-IoT company based in Bengaluru with significant funding (~$4M raised, ~$93M valuation) and B2B traction in the energy efficiency sector. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hallucinations (Claiming 'most people' use it), incorrect data (Market cap of 78 Billion vs real ~93 Million), and a mismatching project name ('StarClaw'). While the underlying technology and market timing are strong, the submission's inaccuracies and lack of professional detail result in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
