Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'OxUA Incubator' is a verifiable, high-utility initiative founded by Ukrainian scholars at Oxford University to support startups during the war. External search confirms its legitimacy, a portfolio of ~7 companies (e.g., Platma, A.D.A.M.), and partnerships with Oxford innovation ecosystems. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality ('BlazeBlade', 'everyone', confusing revenue claims), which heavily penalizes the Quality Factors. The score reflects a 'Small but promising' verified project with high utility, weighed down by a lazy submission.
