Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Aera Technology is a verifiable 'Unicorn' ($1B+ valuation) in the Decision Intelligence/AI space, serving major global enterprises (Unilever, Merck) with ~425 employees and substantial funding (~$300M). However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', reach: 'everyone') and lacking all necessary detail. The high PoU score reflects the verifiable real-world magnitude and utility of the company, while the penalties in Quality Factors and Response Quality reflect the negligence of the submission itself.
