Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Latch' corresponds to LatchBio, a legitimate Series A bioinformatics platform with ~$33M in funding and high real-world utility. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic, false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking specific details. The score reflects the strong underlying entity value (Series A, revenue, partnerships) heavily penalized by the 'Vague or unsupported claims' Quality Factor (0.5x) and a low Response Quality score due to the lazy and inaccurate submission data.
