Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Quantum Machines is a verified 'unicorn' in the deep tech sector with ~$700M valuation and ~200 employees, providing critical Quantum Orchestration Platforms (OPX) to major research labs and corporations (e.g., Toyota, Nvidia partnerships). However, the specific project submission provided was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the immense real-world value and traction of the actual company, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Reach' metrics due to the unreliable submission text.
