Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission for 'Extracker' (rebranded to Clearstory in 2023) presents a stark contrast between the high value of the actual business and the low quality of the form entry. While the submitter provided generic, inaccurate, and lazy responses (claiming 'space-technology' and 'everyone' as the audience), external verification confirms the company is a successful Series B construction tech firm with over $12M in funding and significant industry traction. The final score reflects the project's proven real-world utility and market position, heavily penalized by the lack of evidence and accuracy in the submission itself.
