Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Livin Farms is a legitimate, verified Series A company (approx. €6M funding) with proven industrial insect farming technology and 'The Hive' consumer product. Despite the low-quality submission (false claims of 'everyone' reach and 'most people' traction), external verification confirms significant B2B utility, revenue (~$1.4M), and relevant innovation in the circular economy. The score reflects the project's high real-world value and verified traction, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Reach' metrics due to the submitter's poor accuracy. Metrics are scaled to align with the 0-1000 calibration index.
