Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Baotree is a legitimate Techstars portfolio company addressing a critical need in sustainability verification, which validates its utility and market timing. However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'most people' have used the product and targeting 'everyone'), which severely damages the credibility of the input data. The score reflects the project's verified potential as an early-stage startup (~$2.5M valuation) while heavily penalizing the exaggerated reach and traction claims provided in the form.
