Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Butterfly.ai is a legitimate and successful employee feedback platform that was acquired by Engagedly in September 2025. While the submission data itself was poor (containing hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone'), independent verification confirms the project's significant real-world utility, B2B market reach, and successful exit. The score reflects the high value and verifiable traction of the technology, adjusted heavily for the low quality of the submission inputs.
