Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

This submission for Anaplan receives a low score due to extremely poor data quality, despite representing a market-leading enterprise platform. The submission contains grossly inaccurate financial figures (citing a ~$17M market cap versus the actual historical ~$10B+ valuation), false audience claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'), and generic descriptions. While the evaluator recognizes the real-world utility and scale of Anaplan, the Proof of Usefulness methodology penalizes unsupported, vague, and erroneous submissions. The score reflects the failure of the submission to accurately demonstrate the project's value.
