Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

TeraWatt Infrastructure is a verified 'unicorn' status company having raised over $1B (Series A, Sep 2022) to build commercial EV charging infrastructure. Despite the low-quality submission (claiming 'Team Size 0' and 'most people have used'), the project represents a massive, high-utility, capital-intensive venture with significant real-world traction (e.g., Rancho Dominguez site). The score reflects the immense scale and utility of the actual entity, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Reach' quality factors due to the inaccurate and lazy submission data.
