Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Flexciton is a highly viable, Series A funded Deep Tech company (raised ~$29M) solving critical inefficiencies in semiconductor manufacturing. Despite the project's strong real-world fundamentals—including ~40 employees and estimated $7.5M revenue—the submission itself was of low quality, containing factually incorrect claims like 'most people have used my product' and describing the audience as 'everyone'. The score reflects the high value of the business (verified via external search) heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submitted evidence.
