Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Koite Health (Lumoral) is a scientifically validated, CE-marked medical device company with strong verifiable traction (~€4M revenue, >20,000 units sold, ongoing European expansion). While the submission form contained significant inaccuracies and low-effort claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), external due diligence confirms a high-utility innovation in dual-light therapy with solid patent protection and clinical backing. The project scores highly on utility, innovation, and traction, but is penalized for the poor quality of the submission and exaggerated reach claims.
