Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mecanizou is a verifiable, high-growth Series A startup in Brazil (raised ~$18.5M from Monashees, etc.) digitizing the automotive aftermarket supply chain. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and significant traction (connecting thousands of workshops to suppliers), the submission quality is extremely poor (containing false claims like 'most people have used my product' and invalid data). The evaluation scores reflect the high value of the actual business entity, while the Response Quality score is heavily penalized for the low-effort submission.
