Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

While Rhea's Factory is a legitimate early-stage biotech startup, this submission contains severe red flags. The applicant name ('ThunderHeart') is highly suspicious, and claims like 'most people have used my product' are blatant fabrications for an unfunded, niche B2B industrial enzyme technology. Due to these verifiable false claims regarding traction and revenue, the submission has been heavily penalized, resulting in a negative score aligned with the calibration guidelines for entries with major red flags.
