Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Project 'Finicast Inc.' is a verifiable, venture-backed ($12.8M Seed) enterprise planning platform (FP&A) with significant real-world utility and proprietary technology (PivotFrame). However, the submission itself ('BlazeClaw') was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and inaccurate financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the high potential and traction of the actual entity found via external verification, heavily adjusted for the poor submission quality and niche B2B reach.
