Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Maia Labs is a verified MedTech startup (maia-labs.com) based in the Czech Republic, developing 'ColoMaia,' an AI-assisted endoscopy module with MDR compliance and pilot installations (10k+ exams). However, the project submission quality is extremely poor, containing factually incorrect claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people') and ambiguous financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the high potential and technical validity of the actual company found via independent verification, heavily penalized by the submission's lack of professional evidence and clarity.
