Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Archipelago is a highly established Series B enterprise technology company (raised ~$85M) transforming commercial property risk management. While the user submission contained lazy filler text (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience), external verification confirms exceptional traction, including over $2 trillion in Total Insured Value (TIV) on the platform and clients like Prologis and JLL. The project scores very high on utility, traction, and innovation, significantly outperforming the calibration baseline despite the low quality of the specific submission text.
