Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

MākuSafe solves a tangible real-world problem in industrial workplace safety using innovative wearable and ML technology, securing high marks for utility and market relevance. However, the submission suffers significantly due to exaggerated and low-effort claims ('everyone' as target audience, 'most people have used my product' for traction, and an ambiguous 'all time marketcap'). This severely impacts the traction, reach, and response quality multipliers, keeping the final score in the promising but unverified range.
