Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Project 'Lumos' (Lumos Technologies) is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B fintech company providing predictive analytics and credit scoring (Lumos Prime+) for small business lending. Despite the low-quality submission (typos, false audience claims of 'everyone', invalid revenue data), the underlying entity demonstrates high real-world utility, strong technical innovation (ML/AI), and verifiable traction ($5M+ funding, partnerships with Lenders Cooperative). The score is penalized significantly for the inaccurate 'Audience Reach' claim and poor submission quality, but buoyed by the company's actual market position and capitalization relative to the calibration baseline.
