Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Weather Solutions addresses a genuine B2B need for accurate meteorological data using an AI-driven system named METIS. However, the submission is significantly hindered by vague, unrealistic, and unverified claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). Despite strong market timing and a practical core concept, the severe lack of verifiable metrics and low response diligence limits the score to the lower end of the calibration scale.
