Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Allspring is a verified early-stage startup (backed by Antler/Google for Startups with ~$420K raised), solving a genuine problem in employee upskilling. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies: the claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false, and the '17M marketcap' likely confuses the startup with the multi-billion dollar firm Allspring Global Investments or represents an unverified valuation. Traction is minimal despite funding, and the audience reach is niche B2B, not 'everyone'.
