Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Illumex is a high-potential Series Seed startup ($13M funding) offering a 'Generative Semantic Fabric' to solve critical hallucination and governance issues in Enterprise GenAI. While the submission input contained inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'), external verification confirms strong traction with customers like Teva and partnerships with AWS/Google. The project scores highly on Utility, Innovation, and Timing, but the Response Quality score is penalized due to poor data submission.
