Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Ukko Agro is a verified, VC-backed AgTech company (raising ~$6.5M) offering significant real-world utility through its 'ForeSite' predictive analytics platform, which reduces pesticide usage by ~25%. Despite the strong underlying business and technology (IoT, FAIM models), the project submission itself was of exceptionally poor quality, containing hallucinated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague data. The score reflects the company's proven traction and innovation, significantly penalized by the low-effort submission.
