Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

FATMAP is a verified, high-value 3D mapping platform acquired by Strava in 2023, confirming exceptional real-world utility and market exit. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, utilizing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and generic descriptions. While the underlying technology and actual traction are top-tier (scoring high on utility and innovation), the Proof of Usefulness score is penalized by the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission and the poor response quality.
