Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Indeximate is a verified UK-based climate tech startup (Indeximate Ltd) preventing subsea cable failures using fiber optic sensing (DAS) and proprietary data analysis (Scattersphere). While the submission contained hallucinated traction claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone'), independent verification confirms significant B2B traction, including a pilot with RWE, ~$1M in seed funding, and a granted patent. The score reflects high technical innovation and real-world utility, heavily penalized by poor submission quality and niche audience reach relative to the calibration scale.
