Emburse

+68
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents 'Emburse', a recognized and substantial B2B expense management platform with a large workforce (3,000 employees). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing vague descriptions, hyperbolic audience claims ('everyone', 'most people'), and inaccurate financial metrics ($17M market cap is erroneous for a company of this scale). While the entity itself has high real-world utility and traction, the 'Proof' provided in this specific entry is weak, heavily penalizing the final score despite the underlying company's established market position.
