Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Everstage is a high-growth, Series B funded SaaS company (raised ~$45M) with significant verifiable traction (~$7M-$10M estimated revenue, 200+ enterprise customers). While the project itself is highly credible and demonstrates strong product-market fit in the Sales Performance Management sector, the user submission contained significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users). The evaluation relied on external verification to correct these claims. The 'marketcap' figure provided likely refers to a valuation estimate (~$114M-$155M). The project scores highly on utility and traction, but the response quality was poor.
