Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Praan is a legitimate, high-potential deep-tech startup addressing critical air quality issues with innovative filterless technology (MK II, HIVE). While the project submission contained low-quality placeholder text (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms significant backing from top-tier investors (Social Impact Capital, Peter Thiel) and commercial pilots with major corporations (Tata Steel, Siemens). The score reflects the project's high real-world utility and technical innovation, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission data.
