Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project is a legitimate high-potential MIT CSAIL spinoff (Themis AI) developing 'Capsa' for AI uncertainty quantification, verified via external search. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing false hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and lacking verifiable data. The score reflects the strong technical provenance and market relevance of the actual entity, heavily penalized for the submission's inaccuracy and lack of evidence. Themis AI has raised ~$2.8M in seed funding, contrasting with the 'most people' claim.
