Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for 'EXA Finance' contains significant contradictions and unverifiable claims. While the URL points to a legitimate DeFi NFT marketplace on the Algorand blockchain, the business type is listed as 'AI search infrastructure' (confusing it with exa.ai), and the technology list includes 'construction,' suggesting a low-quality or automated submission. Claims of reaching 'everyone' and 'most people' having used the product are factually incorrect. The revenue metric is presented as an unrealistic market cap figure without context. The score is heavily penalized for poor response quality and lack of credible evidence.
