Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Built Technologies is a verified fintech unicorn (Series D, $1.5B valuation) with significant real-world utility in construction finance, managing over $200B in construction volume. However, the project submission itself is of very low quality, containing demonstrable errors (e.g., claiming audience reach is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people have used my product', both false for B2B software). The team size listed (750) also appears exaggerated compared to verifiable data (~350-450). The score reflects the company's strong market position and utility, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and poor accuracy in the submission data.
