Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Qube Technologies is a legitimate, high-potential Series B company providing critical AI-driven environmental surveillance for the energy sector. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and vague data. While external verification confirms the company's significant utility, technical innovation, and market traction (partnerships with ARC Resources, EPA approvals), the score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submitted evidence and the inaccurate reach/traction claims.
