Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

WaveBase Inc. is a legitimate early-stage MedTech startup (backed by Velocity incubator) with issued patents and verified letters of intent (LOIs), contradicting the submission's false claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the technology (edge AI for ultrasound) has high real-world utility and innovation, the project is pre-market and not yet available for sale. The submission quality was poor, containing unrealistic reach claims ('everyone') and contradictory traction data, which significantly lowered the score despite the project's technical promise.
