Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Dirty Labs is a legitimate, venture-backed startup (approx. $4M funding) producing bio-enzymatic cleaning products with verified retail presence (Whole Foods, Grove). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical innovation (Phytolase technology). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic false claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people') and unprofessional details ('AncientSpirit'). The score reflects the company's actual market position—comparable to a seed-stage success—penalized significantly for the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission.
