Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Briq is a verified, significant player in construction financial automation (Series B, $150M valuation, ~138 employees). While the platform has high real-world utility and strong verifiable traction (approx. 400 enterprise customers), the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing lazy and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). This disconnect heavily penalized the Response Quality metric, but the substantial nature of the underlying business keeps the overall score in the high-growth/scale tier.
