+136
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Brelyon is a verifiable Series A deep-tech startup (MIT spin-off) with significant traction, having raised ~$15M (led by Lockheed Martin) and generating estimated annual revenue of ~$7M. The technology (headset-free immersive displays) scores exceptionally high on innovation and utility for enterprise/defense sectors. However, the project submission itself provided factually incorrect claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and poor detail, which heavily penalized the Response Quality score. The final score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals dampened by the lack of mass-market reach and the low-quality submission.
