Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Forethought (formerly Agatha) is a verified Series D enterprise AI company with ~$117M in funding and significant market traction, contrasting sharply with the low-quality submission provided. While the submission contained vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing data, external verification confirms it is a high-growth player in the generative AI customer support space with clients like Upwork and Instacart. The score reflects the project's high real-world utility, strong verified traction ($29M+ estimated revenue), and excellent market timing, heavily penalized by the 'Response Quality' metric due to the lazy submission data.
