Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

BetterYou is a verified Series A funded startup (approx. $11M raised) with a team of ~40 and significant B2B traction (clients include H&R Block, universities). The product addresses a genuine problem (digital wellness/burnout) with a practical, automated solution. However, the project submission itself contained poor, hyperbolic data ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'), which significantly lowered the Quality Factors for Reach and Traction despite the strong underlying reality of the business. The score reflects the high value and established nature of the company, penalized by the low quality of the submission evidence.
