Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Engaige is a legitimate Dutch B2B AI startup (Seed stage, ~$1.1M funding verified) offering autonomous customer support for e-commerce. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies: claimed audience is 'everyone' (actual: niche B2B), claimed traction is 'most people' (demonstrably false), and team size (125) contradicts external data (~16). While the technology and market timing are strong, the score is constrained by the early-stage reach (<50K users) and the poor quality of the submission.
