Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate B2B innovation platform (Tylo AI) and foresight consultancy (Quantumrun), confirmed via external verification to have ~30 employees and significant SEO presence. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'Audience: everyone') and ambiguous metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying business appears robust with high utility and deep tech relevance, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable traction data provided and the unreliability of the submitter's claims.
