Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Novi Labs is a verified, high-value B2B enterprise (Series B, ~$42M funding) delivering critical AI analytics to the energy sector. While the project reality is impressive—optimizing $50B+ in capital decisions—the submission itself was of very low quality, containing inaccurate claims (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product') and generic descriptions. The score reflects the company's actual robust market position and utility, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' metric for the poor input data.
