Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Ecobot' (submitted with the incorrect name 'StarStorm') is a verified, high-traction B2B SaaS platform for the AEC industry, specifically targeting wetland delineation. While the submission quality was extremely poor (incorrect name, exaggerated claims like 'everyone' audience), independent research confirms a legitimate company with ~36 employees, significant enterprise adoption (AECOM, HNTB), and verifiable impact (80k+ reports). The score reflects the project's actual strong market position and utility, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' metric.
