Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Experfy is a legitimate, high-traction platform incubated at Harvard Innovation Lab, generating estimated annual revenue of ~$10M with major enterprise clients (Deloitte, Mayo Clinic) and a network of 30,000+ vetted experts. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified commercial success of the entity, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' metric due to the poor submission effort.
