Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Growterra represents a legitimate AgTech/IoT startup (Growterra, LLC) with verifiable B2B traction, including partnerships with publicly listed companies (e.g., Nature's Miracle). However, the submission itself is of critically low quality, featuring hyperbolic falsehoods ('most people have used my product'), incorrect terminology ('marketcap' for revenue), and a lack of technical detail. While external verification saves the project from a zero score, the disparity between the submission's amateurism and the company's actual B2B operations results in a 'Small but promising' range score, heavily penalized for the lack of direct evidence provided.
