Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Euphotic Labs is a legitimate deep-tech robotics startup with significant backing ($1.5M+ from BITS Spark, SINE IITB) and a tangible product (Nosh robot). However, the submission itself contained demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product') and poor data quality. While the technical innovation and market timing for autonomous cooking are excellent, the project is still in the pre-mass-adoption phase (shipping estimated 2026), and the low-effort submission heavily penalizes the overall score despite the startup's potential.
