Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Clinked is a legitimate, established B2B SaaS platform (founded 2008) with verifiable revenue (~$1.5M+) and a client base of approx. 3,000 businesses. While the submission itself was extremely low quality (containing hyperbolic/false claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'), independent verification confirms a stable, functional business with significant real-world utility in the client portal market. The score reflects the solid business fundamentals, penalized significantly by the poor quality of the submission and the lack of recent explosive growth compared to newer market entrants.
