The project 'Mahydy' appears to be a legitimate, albeit likely dormant, deep-tech startup based in Latvia focused on Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for steel metalizing. However, the submission data provided is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone', traction claim 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical fields. While the underlying technology has high theoretical utility and innovation, the submission fails to demonstrate current traction, active operations, or professional intent, resulting in a very low Proof of Usefulness score.
