Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

IntelliSense.io is a high-potential Industrial AI scale-up with verifiable traction, including deployments with 9 of the top 20 mining companies and significant revenue ($10M+ est). The project leverages 'Scientific AI' (combining physics models with ML) to solve critical sustainability and efficiency challenges in the mining sector. However, the PoU score is penalized significantly by the submission quality, which contains clearly inaccurate claims in the form fields (e.g., claiming the audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product'). Despite these submission errors, the underlying technology and market position are strong.
