Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

LiangDao demonstrates strong business fundamentals typical of a Series B deep-tech company, with a claimed team size of 350 and significant valuation metrics ($75M). The project addresses a high-utility problem in autonomous driving validation (LiDAR/3D sensing). However, the submission quality is notably poor, featuring hyperbolic and inaccurate claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying verification of the company's scale and technology, heavily penalized by the low quality of the specific submission evidence.
