Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

DataPelago is a verifiable, high-potential Series A startup (raised $47M from Qualcomm, Eclipse, etc.) addressing critical 'memory wall' bottlenecks in AI data processing. While the project submission itself was of extremely low quality (containing inaccurate claims like 'everyone' for reach and missing revenue data), external verification confirms significant traction, including pilots with Samsung SDS and a seasoned team with 500+ patents. The final score reflects the project's actual high utility and market relevance, penalized significantly in the 'Response Quality' and 'Reach' metrics due to the poor submission data.
