Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate hardware startup (Generative Machine Ltd.) developing advanced 5-axis 3D printing technology ('Generation One'), as verified by external data. However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies and 'hallucinations' that severely impact the score. Specifically, the claims that 'most people have used my product' and the audience is 'everyone' are demonstrably false for a niche industrial product currently in the pre-order phase (<100 units). The project name provided ('SwiftWing') contradicts the company identity found at the URL. While the underlying technology is innovative and useful for manufacturing, the lack of verifiable traction and the low quality of the submission data keep the PoU score in the 'minimal traction' range.
