Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Capital Factory is a highly established venture capital firm and accelerator in Texas with verifiable real-world impact and a strong brand. However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product'), vague data ('everyone'), and incorrect categorization ('Investment Banking'). While the entity's actual utility and traction drive the score up significantly, the poor response quality and lack of specific technical evidence prevent a top-tier rating.
