Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

RENERGIA is a legitimate early-stage Romanian startup offering an energy efficiency app with verifiable but modest traction (~2,000 users). While the real-world utility is high (helping users reduce energy bills via AI analysis), the submission quality is critically poor. The input claims 'most people have used my product,' which is factually false and severely damages credibility. Additionally, the project is miscategorized as 'Biofuels' when it is a software solution. Despite strong market timing and a functional product invited to COP28, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of honest/accurate data in the submission.
