Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Sloyd (submitted as 'DeepKeeper') is a verified, VC-backed startup (a16z, Antler) with significant traction (€3M+ seed funding, ~250,000 signups). While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and technical innovation in generative 3D for gaming, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing typos ('Sloydis'), dubious claims ('most people have used my product'), and nonsensical financial data. The score reflects the strong external evidence of the project's viability and market fit (fitting the 'Small but promising' tier), heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided input.
