Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

RIIICO is a verified, high-potential B2B startup providing AI-powered 3D digital twins for factory planning, backed by ~$7M in funding and partnerships with Siemens and major automotive manufacturers. However, the project submission itself ('ShadowForge') is of extremely low quality, containing falsified reach claims ('everyone') and nonsensical traction statements ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong external reality of the business (RIIICO) heavily penalized by the poor integrity and quality of the specific submission data.
