Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Cedalio is a legitimate Y Combinator-backed startup (Summer 2023) pivoting from blockchain databases to AI-powered energy data extraction. However, this submission contains severe inaccuracies and low-effort responses. The claim that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a B2B niche tool. While the underlying technology (AI & Blockchain) is relevant and the market timing for energy data is strong, the score is heavily penalized due to the unreliable and exaggerated nature of the submission data.
