Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Palladium MC' is a verifiable early-stage B2B Agritech and Security startup based in Halifax (partnerships with Bosch/Yamaha, 'One to Watch' award). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') that contradict the niche industrial nature of the business (AIoT, de-mining, agriculture). While the underlying technology and mission (humanitarian de-mining, food security) have high utility, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the lack of serious, accurate input data.
