Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Datasembly is a highly successful, verified B2B technology company (Series B, ~$40M funding, ~75 employees) providing real-time pricing intelligence to major retailers and CPG brands. While the submission itself was low-effort (incorrectly claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing vague traction claims), independent verification confirms strong market fit, significant revenue, and a strategic partnership/acquisition by SPINS. The project scores highly on utility, traction, and timing due to the current inflationary economic climate, despite the poor quality of the submission inputs.

Description
Datasembly empowers brands, retailers, and restaurants to make data-driven decisions about prices and promotions in real time. Datasembly provides our proprietary hyper-local real-time data through an intuitive web app designed to solve real-world problems and deliver immediate visibility and insights.\n\nThese companies are shockingly in the dark about pricing in the marketplace. Many of them even struggle to understand the dynamics of their own prices – let alone those of their competition. The prices of your products and your competitors' products drive so many core decisions at these organizations and yet these decisions are too often motivated by aggregated, slow, inaccurate data or even by no data at all. \n\nDatasembly drives data-driven decisions with a new level of granularity and recency. Datasembly collects billions of product observations every week from hundreds of thousands of individual store locations and provides unprecedented tools that our clients love.
