Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Anzen Insurance is a legitimate, high-growth InsurTech company that has raised ~$26M (Series A led by Madrona), verifying significant market traction and utility despite the low-quality submission (incorrect name 'IronStorm', garbage email, and false claims like 'most people'). The project solves a critical inefficiency in executive risk insurance with its AI-powered 'Anzen Pro' platform. While the user submission was poor (claiming 'art' as technology and 'everyone' as audience), independent verification confirms strong B2B adoption (>5,000 agents), robust technical infrastructure, and excellent market timing. The score reflects the high verified value of the project, slightly penalized for the discrepancy in the provided evidence.
