Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Waterly is a high-potential project with verified real-world utility (autonomous water monitoring buoys) and significant external validation (WSA 2025 Global Champion, pilot deployments). However, the PoU score is heavily penalized because the submission data contained false/spammy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'). While the technology and market timing are excellent, the response quality was extremely poor, preventing a higher score.
