Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Incube Space is a verifiable UK-based PropTech/ClimateTech startup (founded ~2020) with legitimate products (CubeOS) and seed-stage traction (Startups 100 recognition, ~$250k funding). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and pseudonymity ('ShadowWalker'). While the underlying business has real-world utility and market relevance, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of serious data input and the failure to substantiate claims in the application.
