Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Doublefin is a legitimate seed-stage B2B SaaS company offering headcount planning software, verified via external search (Seed funding Nov 2022). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product and the audience is 'everyone') and nonsense data ('marketcap: null'). While the product solves a real problem for finance teams, the submission's lack of serious engagement and inaccurate claims regarding traction and reach result in a significantly penalized score.
