Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project is a verified, venture-backed Series B company (DUST Identity) with high-value Deep Tech (nanodiamond supply chain security). However, the submission quality is critically poor, containing a job description instead of project details and false audience claims ('everyone'). The score reflects the massive real-world utility and verified traction of the underlying company ($50M+ funding, verified via email domain and external search), heavily penalized by the low-quality submission data.
