Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

BluWave is a highly legitimate, high-growth B2B company (Inc. 5000 #127 in 2021) solving a critical pain point for over 500 Private Equity firms. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims in specific fields (e.g., 'Audience: everyone', 'Evidence: most people have used my product') despite a legitimate description. The score reflects the project's verified high real-world utility and traction, heavily penalized for the poor quality and inaccuracy of the submission response.
