Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

GetSetUp is a verified, venture-backed company (Series A, ~$20M funding) with significant real-world traction (4M+ users, government partnerships with NY/MI/CA, health plan integrations). While the submission itself was low-quality ('most people have used my product', missing revenue data), external verification confirms it is a market leader in the 'silver economy' edtech space with a team of ~84. The project scores highly on utility, traction, and timing, but is penalized for the poor quality of the submission data and moderate technical innovation.
