Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Prewave is a highly established Austrian AI scale-up specializing in supply chain risk intelligence. While the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (containing vague/false claims like 'most people have used my product' and using a handle 'FrostHeart'), external verification confirms the company is a market leader. They recently raised ~$67M in Series B funding (June 2024), employ ~264 people, and serve over 200 major enterprise clients (BMW, VW, Lufthansa). The project scores exceptionally high on utility, traction, and market timing due to new EU supply chain regulations, though the response quality metric is severely penalized.
