Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Bidgely is a mature, high-impact Series C cleantech company with verifiable success ($100M+ funding, ~30M endpoints managed, major utility contracts like PG&E/Duke). Despite the low-quality submission (vague claims like 'everyone' and incorrect capitalization), the project itself scores exceptionally high on real-world utility, innovation (17+ patents), and traction. The score reflects the company's verified market position as a leader in AI-driven energy analytics, adjusted downward slightly for the poor quality of the specific submission data.
