Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ClearQuote is a legitimate company (est. 2012, pivot ~2020) offering AI-based vehicle inspection for fleets and dealerships, with verified traction (e.g., Fleetio integration) and a team of ~48. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing financial data. While the technology and utility are high, the score is heavily penalized for the exaggerated claims and slow growth relative to its 12-year history.
