Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Neuphony is a verified hardware startup (neurofeedback headbands) with appearances on Shark Tank India and Forbes. While the underlying product and market timing are strong, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and ambiguous financial data ('17000000' market cap). The team size (30) and verifiable media presence suggest a 'Small but promising' project (Score 100-250), but the poor response quality and exaggerated traction claims significantly penalize the final score.
