+355
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Myota is a legitimate health-tech startup with verifiable traction (~$1.4M estimated revenue, NHS partnership, ~30 employees) and a valid product (microbiome-focused fiber blends). However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audienceReach: everyone') and incorrect terminology ('marketcap' for revenue). While the underlying business is solid and high-utility, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the vague, exaggerated claims.
