Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Polymath Robotics is a verified Y Combinator (S22) company developing high-utility autonomy software for industrial vehicles. While the project itself demonstrates strong technical innovation and solves a genuine problem (labor shortages/safety in heavy industry), the submission provided was extremely low-quality, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the legitimate potential and verified backing of the company, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the early-stage nature of its B2B adoption.
