Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Serve Robotics is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: SERV) autonomous delivery company with significant market validation (approx. $950M market cap) and industry-leading partnerships (Uber Eats, 7-Eleven). While the submission text itself was low-quality (vague claims of 'everyone' and 'most people'), external verification confirms it is a 'Deep Tech' leader with a fleet of over 2,000 Level 4 autonomous robots. The project scores highly on innovation and potential utility, though current revenue (~$2M TTM) trails its valuation. The low response quality penalized the final score slightly, but the verifiable scale of the business drives a high PoU rating.
