Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Covariant is a highly significant AI Robotics entity with verified deep-tech innovation (Covariant Brain) and substantial valuation (~$625M). However, the submission quality is poor, containing inaccurate audience claims ('everyone') and mixing valuation with revenue. The high score reflects the project's intrinsic market value and technical sophistication, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the lazy and imprecise submission data.
