Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Fingercheck is a verified, high-traction SaaS platform (founded 2013) serving the 'deskless' workforce market. External analysis confirms significant scale with ~350 employees, ~$20M-$50M estimated revenue, and a recent $115M growth equity investment (Oct 2024). While the project submission itself was low-quality (vague claims, hyperbolic audience reach), the underlying business reality demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, verified market fit, and substantial user adoption (5,000+ businesses, 100k+ active users). The score reflects the high verified value of the business, adjusted slightly for the poor quality of the submission data.
