Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Hoodie Analytics is a verified, established cannabis data platform with significant traction (~$7.7M estimated revenue, ~$9M funding, ~35 employees), despite a very low-quality submission that contained inaccurate claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience, 'most people' as traction). The project solves a critical B2B problem with high utility and technical sophistication (real-time inventory tracking, ML). The score reflects strong real-world fundamentals and verified market presence, heavily penalized in the Response Quality and Audience Reach sections due to the submission's hyperbolic and unsupported claims.
