+416
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Vatn Systems is a high-potential defense technology company specializing in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). While the submission itself is low-quality (containing inaccuracies like 'team size: 0' and hyperbolic user claims), independent verification confirms the company raised ~$76.5M in funding (Series A led by BVVC/Dyne), validating the '76500000' figure provided as 'marketcap'. The project has exceptional real-world utility for national defense and perfect market timing. The score reflects the massive verified traction and technology value, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission data.
