Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Hireguide is a legitimate, venture-scale B2B SaaS platform backed by former LinkedIn executives, serving ~1,000 hiring teams. While the project itself has high utility and solid market timing in the 'skills-based hiring' space, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims of universal reach ('most people') and nonsensical financial data. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
