Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Gaiia is a high-potential, venture-backed Series A company ($37M funding) solving critical infrastructure challenges for ISPs. Despite a low-quality submission (vague claims, false audience data), external verification confirms significant revenue (~$8M+ est.), a team of 60+, and backing from Y Combinator and Inovia Capital. The platform replaces legacy ISP billing/operations systems, demonstrating high real-world utility and strong market fit. The score reflects the high value of the underlying business, penalized slightly for the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the specific submission.
