+635
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

QuantrolOx is a high-potential deep-tech company (Oxford University spin-out) addressing a critical bottleneck in quantum computing: the automated tuning and stabilization of qubits. While the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (containing blatantly false claims like 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms significant legitimacy. The company has raised over €10.5M in funding (EIC, Hoxton Ventures), employs ~33 people, and has partnerships with major industry players like Bluefors and Zurich Instruments. The score reflects the high verified utility and technical innovation, significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission itself.
