Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project '443ID' refers to a legitimate, verified Identity & Access Management (IAM) startup that raised $8M in Seed funding (2022) to integrate Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) into authentication flows. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and omitting technical details. While the underlying technology and market timing are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of provided evidence and the inaccuracy of the submission's traction claims compared to verifiable reality.
