Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

GigRadar is a verifiable AI lead generation SaaS for Upwork agencies, likely generating significant revenue ($1M-$3M/year) based on pricing and user scale. However, the submission quality was abysmal, containing false claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing key data. While the tool solves a genuine problem (lead automation) and demonstrates strong market timing, it faces mixed user sentiment (accusations of generic proposals and high costs) and platform dependency risks. The score reflects the strong underlying business metrics penalized heavily for the lack of credible submission data and potential ToS risks.
