Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

HiveWatch is a verified, high-growth Series B company (approx. $65M funding, ~60 employees) solving a critical problem in physical security operations (reducing false alarms via AI). However, the submission itself contained extremely low-quality data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users), which contradicts the enterprise nature of the product. The score reflects the project's high verifiable real-world value and market traction, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiated evidence in the submission text.
