Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Arbolus is a legitimate, high-traction Expert Network (Series A funded, ~250 employees) connecting institutional investors with industry experts. While the project itself demonstrates strong real-world utility and verified market success (far exceeding the 'HackerNoon' calibration baseline), the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing typos and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the company's actual significant scale and utility, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Audience Reach' quality factors due to the inaccurate submission data.
