Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Edera Farm is a verified Italian agritech startup backed by Ulixes Capital (2021 investment round). While the project has high real-world utility in vertical farming and IoT, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing hallucinations ('most people have used my product') and misunderstood financial metrics ('marketcap 50000', likely referring to share capital). The score reflects the solid external reality of the business (VC-backed, operational) heavily penalized by the low-quality, inaccurate submission data.
