Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Consolidata is a verifiable fintech project founded by credible industry professionals (Austin Kipp, Craig Thompson; Wharton/KKR/Goldman Sachs). However, the submission itself contains significant hallucinations and spam-like data (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used a niche CFO tool, 'all time marketcap: null'). The domain consolidata.one redirects to a 'Prophet' login, suggesting a pivot. The score reflects the high potential of the team and problem space, severely discounted by the poor quality of the provided evidence and hyperbolic claims.
