Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

CrescoData is a verified, successful B2B enterprise platform acquired by Pitney Bowes in 2021 for $22 million (matching the submitted 'marketcap' figure). The platform solves critical e-commerce integration challenges using serverless architecture and AI, processing over 10 million SKUs daily for 2,000+ merchants. While the submission itself contains lazy assertions (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users), the underlying project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and verified commercial traction via its acquisition. The score reflects the high value of the verified technology and exit, penalized slightly for the low quality of the user's descriptive claims.
