Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Artie is a verified, high-potential Series A startup ($12M raised, YC-backed) providing critical real-time database replication infrastructure for companies like Substack and ClickUp. However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing empty descriptions and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'Audience Reach: everyone'). The score reflects the high verifiable utility and market timing of the technology, significantly penalized by the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission data.
