Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Hatica is a verified, venture-backed (Sequoia Surge) engineering analytics platform founded by former Uber engineers. While the company is legitimate and operates in a high-utility market (engineering efficiency), the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business potential (~$3.7M seed funding) heavily penalized for the unsubstantiated and unprofessional submission details.
