Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Maxwell Energy (ION Energy) is a legitimate, established player in the BMS/EV space with a significant team size (141) and clear real-world utility. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, featuring vague claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking specific metrics. The score reflects the verifiable reality of the business's scale and industry relevance, balanced against the poor quality of the self-reported evidence.
