Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Rootine is a legitimate, venture-backed Series A company ($14.5M raised) offering high-utility personalized nutrition via DNA and blood analysis. However, the submission itself contained severe inaccuracies (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience) and missing data. While the project's real-world utility and technical innovation are verifiable and strong, the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' scores were penalized due to the poor quality of the submission data compared to the actual status of the company.
