Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Bare is a legitimate, high-traction Australian 'DeathTech' scale-up that has raised over $15M AUD and served >50,000 families, generating significant revenue ($20M+ estimated). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality (false claims, empty fields, pseudonym), requiring independent verification of all data. The score reflects the strong real-world utility and market position of the company, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of submitted evidence.
