Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Powerhouse AI (pwh.ai) is a verifiable, venture-backed startup (Y Combinator W22) based in Singapore offering AI-driven inventory automation for logistics. While the submission itself was of very low quality (containing false claims like 'everyone' for audience and 'most people' for traction), independent verification confirms significant real-world utility and enterprise traction (clients include DHL, Unilever). The project scores highly on technical innovation (computer vision for warehousing) and market timing, but the score is penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided in the form.
