Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Bevi is a Series D verified market leader in smart water coolers with estimated annual revenue exceeding $100M and over 6,000 corporate customers (including 30% of the Fortune 1000). While the project submission itself contained low-effort, vague responses (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms massive scale, significant venture backing ($160M+), and strong environmental utility. The score reflects high real-world impact and traction, penalized slightly for poor submission quality.
