Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project represents a well-established digital invitation platform (Greenvelope) with significant verifiable traction (125 employees, launched 2008). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring a mismatched project name ('SwiftBlade'), hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and generic technical details. The score reflects the strong underlying business utility and market presence, heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission.

Description
Greenvelope strives to deliver the most elegant electronic invitation service by emulating the experience of opening a "traditional" printed invitation. By creating a positive online experience, Greenvelope hopes more hosts will consider sending invitations electronically for formal events – to help save trees, and additionally save time and money. To express Greenvelope's commitment towards this goal, they donate a significant percentage of every sale to Mountains to Sounds, a non-profit organization that maintains forests. Together we can invite a greener future.
