Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'FarmWise' refers to a verified AgTech robotics company (Series B, ~$140M funding) that developed the 'Titan' and 'Vulcan' weeding robots. However, the company faced financial difficulties, wound down operations, and was acquired by Taylor Farms in April 2025. The submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and incorrect tags ('film', 'energy-solutions'), suggesting a lack of effort or potential impersonation. While the underlying technology possesses high real-world utility and innovation, the score is heavily penalized by the business failure ('wind down') and the poor quality of the submission evidence.
