Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Orangewood Labs is a legitimate Y Combinator (W18) and Series A funded robotics company solving a critical problem in SME automation with affordable, AI-programmable robotic arms (RoboGPT). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for a B2B industrial hardware product) and outdated team data (1-10 vs actual ~50). The score reflects the company's strong verified technical fundamentals and market relevance, heavily penalized by the submission's inaccuracy and lack of effort.
