Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Lincode Labs is a legitimate, venture-backed AI manufacturing company with significant traction (Series A, ~50+ employees, global clients), solving a high-value problem in industrial inspection. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing patently false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone'). While external verification confirms the project's scale and utility, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission itself and the inaccuracy of the input data.
