Lamina is a legitimate, early-stage UK-based startup focused on AI-driven optimization for renewable energy assets (specifically solar). External verification confirms the company exists, is currently unfunded, and addresses a genuine industry problem (yield loss and data silos). However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies, such as claiming the audience is 'everyone' (it is a niche B2B tool) and that 'most people have used my product' (a demonstrably false claim for a new specialized tool). While the core value proposition and engineering-led approach described are promising, the lack of verifiable traction and the low quality of the specific data points in the submission result in a low Proof of Usefulness score, categorizing it as a 'minimal traction' project.
