Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Blend-ed is a verified B2B EdTech platform with significant real-world utility, leveraging Open edX and AI agents to serve enterprise clients (reportedly including Deloitte and IBM). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and unprofessional data ('marketcap: null'). While the actual project appears to be a solid, revenue-generating business comparable to a mid-sized agency or SaaS (10-50 employees), the score is penalized heavily due to the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission and the unprofessional response quality. The score reflects a 'Small but promising' to 'Comparable' venture, adjusted down for the poor submission effort.
