Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents 'Bob & Berts', a verified and successful UK-based coffee chain with significant revenue (~£21.5M FY2024) and a large workforce (700+). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, listing 'space-technology' and claiming 'everyone' as the audience. While the Real-World Utility and Traction scores are high due to the verified business success, the Technical Innovation score is near zero, and the Response Quality is penalized for inaccurate/troll-like claims. The final score reflects a strong traditional business submitted poorly as a technology project.
