Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Pometry is a legitimate UK-based deep-tech company (approx. £4.36M valuation) developing 'Raphtory' for temporal graph analytics. However, the submission is critically flawed: it claims the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used [the] product' (likely confusing the project with the defunct LunarStorm social network). While the underlying technology is innovative and funded, the submission's hyperbolic and inaccurate claims result in a severe penalty, placing the score in the 'Minimal traction/Red flags' range despite the company's actual potential.
