Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Trexo Robotics' is a high-utility medical device company (YC W19) with significant verifiable traction (~$5M revenue, 300+ units, 100M steps). However, the submission itself ('ThunderBlade') contains hallucinations ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and poor data. The score reflects the high intrinsic utility and innovation of the actual Trexo entity, heavily penalized in Reach and Traction quality factors due to the inaccurate submission.

Description
Trexo Robotics builds wearable robots that help children with Cerebral Palsy walk, in many cases for the first time in their lives. Trexo's mission is to enable mobility for everyone, starting with children. The company was started when founder Manmeet Maggu's nephew was diagnosed with CP and was told that he would not be able to walk. Trexo launched its first product for home use, and kids are already using it to walk every day. Families can sign up on http://trexorobotics.com \n\n
