Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

BuildOps is a verifiable 'Unicorn' company (valued at ~$1B) with significant traction, raising over $127M in Series C funding (March 2025 data/projections). While the project itself is high-value, solving critical problems for commercial contractors with a large team (~550 employees) and substantial revenue (~$100M ARR), the specific submission provided was low-quality. The submitter used hyperbolic/spammy text for audience claims ('everyone', 'most people'), though the quantitative data (Team Size: 512, Valuation: 1B) was accurate. The score reflects the massive real-world scale of the business, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission text.
