Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Bdeo is a highly established Series B InsurTech company with verified funding (~$17.5M) and significant market traction (50+ enterprise clients including Mapfre, AXA, and Zurich). The submission contained significant errors (wrong project name 'WhisperStone', lazy audience claims like 'everyone'), which severely impacted the Response Quality score. However, the underlying business demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, robust technical innovation in Visual Intelligence, and strong growth metrics that justify a high overall score despite the poor submission quality.
