Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Living' (Living.ai / EMO Robot) is a verified, high-traction consumer electronics venture with estimated revenues exceeding $10M and over 50,000 units shipped globally. However, the specific submission provided contains severe data quality issues (claiming 'Team Size 1', 'Audience: everyone', and nonsensical revenue figures). The evaluation credits the verifiable external success of the EMO robot (advanced robotics, active community, strong market fit) while heavily penalizing the response quality and evidence presentation. The resulting score reflects a successful scaling hardware company, adjusted downward for the risk associated with the poor quality of the application data.
