Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Spiderweb Labs is a legitimate South African startup with verified patents in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and drone integration for wildlife conservation. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') that contradict the niche B2B nature of the technology. While the technical innovation and real-world utility are high, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable traction data and poor response quality.
