Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

OzoneBio is a legitimate, verified deep-tech startup (IndieBio alumni, ~$2.8M funding) developing 'zombie cell' fermentation for bio-adipic acid. However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical tags ('film', 'leadership'). The score reflects the high potential of the underlying technology and market timing, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the specific submission.
