+606
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Built In is a substantial, verified technology recruitment and media platform with verifiable traction significantly exceeding the submission's modest claims. While the submission text itself was low-effort (e.g., 'marketcap 75000000', 'everyone'), external verification confirms the entity has ~350 employees, tens of millions in funding (Series C), and millions of monthly visitors. The project scores highly on Utility, Traction, and Market Relevance due to its established industry position, though the score is dampened by the low quality of the provided responses which failed to accurately articulate this value.
