Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Xubin Aerospace is a verified, angel-backed defense startup (founded 2023, Oakville, Canada) developing the 'Eagle Vision' optical CUAS system. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies: the product name 'ThunderBlade' likely confuses their product with an OWC hard drive, the 'everyone' audience claim is invalid for defense tech, and the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is factually impossible. Despite the poor submission quality, the underlying company and technology (AI/Optical drone detection) have high utility and market timing.
