Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

anch.AI is a legitimate, research-backed B2B SaaS platform for AI governance, founded by Anna Felländer and verified to have raised ~$2.1M in seed funding before being acquired by Fairly AI. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confused financial data ('all time marketcap: 17000000'). The Proof of Usefulness score reflects the high real-world utility and verified commercial traction (acquisition/funding) of the actual company, severely penalized by the lack of credible details in the submission and the false user reach claims.
