Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission describes Bregal Sagemount, a legitimate and significant private equity firm with $7.5B in committed capital. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality and fails to define a specific technology product. Key fields contain false or nonsensical data (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', market cap '17000000' vs $7.5B capital, technology listed as 'Venture Capital'). The score acknowledges the real-world value of the firm's capital services but applies heavy penalties for the lack of technical innovation, false user claims, and poor response integrity.
