Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Sun Metalon is a legitimate, high-potential deep-tech company with significant backing (~$30M+ funding, partnerships with Toyota/Komatsu), despite the submission's extremely poor quality. The submission contained false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague data, resulting in the lowest possible Quality Factors (0.5x). However, independent verification confirms the project's high innovation in ultra-fast metal 3D printing and recycling, justifying a strong base score that is heavily penalized by the submission quality.
