Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Hiration is a verified Y Combinator (W20) company with significant traction (~$2M estimated revenue, 1M+ users, 100+ institutional partners). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate tags ('space-technology'). The score reflects the strong real-world utility and verified market position, significantly heavily penalized by the low 'Response Quality' and 'Quality Factors' due to the submitter's failure to provide accurate or serious data.
