Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Claimer is a legitimate UK-based fintech that raised ~$4.2M in Seed funding (2022) to automate R&D tax credits. However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users), which severely impacted the score. External verification confirms the company recently pivoted from a direct service model to a SaaS platform for accountants due to regulatory changes. While the underlying business has verified backing and utility, the submission's lack of seriousness and false traction claims prevent a higher rating.
