Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Flyability is a verifiable, high-impact Swiss robotics company (Scale-up) with significant revenue (~$50M+) and market leadership in confined-space inspection (Elios drones). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience: everyone', 'traction: most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. While the project's real-world utility and innovation are elite (scoring high), the score is heavily penalized by the poor response quality and inaccurate submission data. A proper submission would likely score 600+.
