Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Brazen is a verified, established market leader in virtual hiring events, acquired by Radancy in 2023. Despite the submission containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and low-effort data, external verification confirms high real-world utility, significant enterprise adoption (CVS Health, KPMG), and a successful exit with estimated revenue over $13M. The score reflects strong business fundamentals and traction, penalized moderately for the poor quality of the submission text.
