Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Hadrian Automation is a high-value, venture-backed aerospace manufacturing company with verified unicorn status (>$1.6B valuation as of 2026). While the project itself possesses exceptional utility, innovation, and traction—addressing critical U.S. defense industrial base challenges—the submission quality is extremely poor. The submission inaccurately claims 'everyone' as the audience, confuses funding raised ($260M) with market cap, and offers a vacant description. However, verifiable external data (Series C funding, Mesa factory expansion) confirms its 'Much Larger Scale' status, justifying a high score despite the submission's deficiencies.
