Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Gather AI is a verifiable, high-traction Series B robotics company ($34M funding) solving critical supply chain inventory problems. However, the submission itself contained extremely poor quality data (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone'), which contradicts the B2B industrial nature of the product. The score reflects the high real-world value and verified external traction (Series B, major clients like GEODIS), significantly penalized by the low response quality. The final score is scaled to align with the calibration reference.
