Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission references 'Glynn Capital', a legitimate and high-profile venture capital firm with significant historical traction (investments in Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). However, the submission data itself is of extremely poor quality, containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone' audience, '75000000' market cap for a multi-billion AUM firm). The project name 'StarGale' does not appear to be a verifiable public initiative of the firm. The score acknowledges the firm's real-world existence and utility but is heavily penalized for the inaccurate, low-effort, and unverifiable details provided in the form.
