Proof of Usefulness Report

Gecko Robotics

Analysis completed on 2/4/2026

+402
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Gecko Robotics is a validated 'unicorn' company ($1.25B valuation) providing critical infrastructure inspection via wall-climbing robots. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false data (e.g., 'Team Size: 0', 'Audience: everyone', 'ai-wrappers') which contradicts verifiable public records. While the underlying company has exceptional utility and traction, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided in the submission form.
