Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Pionix is a legitimate entity driving 'EVerest', a significant open-source software stack for EV charging infrastructure under LF Energy. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing factually incorrect claims ('most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and lacking verifiable details. While the technology is high-utility and innovative, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the niche B2B nature of the actual product versus the claimed mass-market reach.
