Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Copia Automation is a verified, high-potential Series A company ($16.4M funding, Lux Capital) with significant real-world utility in Industrial DevOps (Git for PLCs) and major customers like Amazon. However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (User 'MysticSpirit', claiming 'most people have used my product'), necessitating a scoring approach that validates the real project entity while penalizing the specific submission quality and reach claims. The score reflects the company's strong Verified Traction and Utility, adjusted for the uncertainty of the submission source.
