Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

BioFluff is a legitimate, high-potential biotech startup producing 'Savian', a 100% plant-based fur alternative. Despite the poor quality of the submission (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms significant traction: $3.6M in funding (Astanor Ventures, SOSV), a partnership with Stella McCartney at COP28, and recognition as an LVMH Innovation Award finalist. The project scores highly on real-world utility and innovation but is penalized for the submitter's lack of evidence and the currently niche B2B reach typical of a seed-stage material science company.
