+930
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Stoke Space is a verifiable 'Unicorn' aerospace company with a recent $2B valuation and ~$1.1B in funding. The project is developing the 'Nova' fully reusable rocket, a high-utility innovation in the critical space infrastructure market. While the submission text contained placeholder assertions (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used the product), the specific data points (Market Cap $2B, Team Size 321) were highly accurate and verified against external databases (PitchBook/Tracxn). The discrepancy between the high-value project and low-effort text description results in a penalized Response Quality score, but the overwhelming verified Traction and Innovation metrics drive the final score into the top tier.
