Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission contradicts itself by describing a logistics company ('Digital Freight Forwarder') while providing the URL, Business Type, and Email for 'Silq Technologies', a separate advanced biomaterials company (FDA-cleared catheter surface treatments). Based on the verified URL and Business Type, this evaluation focuses on the high-utility biomaterials entity. The submission quality is extremely poor (conflating two companies, false claims of 'everyone' using the product), which heavily penalizes the score despite the project's strong technical fundamentals and medical utility.
