Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Curvestone is a verifiable, high-potential B2B AI platform for legal and compliance automation that recently raised $4M in Seed funding (Dec 2025) and demonstrates significant traction with major clients like Stephenson Harwood and Walker Morris. However, the submission provided by 'ThunderGale' contains extremely low-quality data, including patently false claims about audience reach ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics. While the project's real-world utility and market timing are excellent, the score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission and the lack of verifiable user data provided by the submitter.
