Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Eltropy is a highly successful, verified Scale-Up company (Series A funded, ~$42M+ revenue, 700+ B2B customers) operating in the niche FinTech market for Credit Unions. While the project itself demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Traction (ranking on Inc. 5000), the submission quality was poor (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'). The score reflects the company's verified market leadership and scale, penalized slightly for the lack of specific evidence in the submission text.
