Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Houseware is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B SaaS company that was acquired by LaunchDarkly in Feb 2025. While the project itself demonstrates high utility, innovation, and successful traction (Seed funding, Acquisition), the submission provided by the user ('BlazeBlade') was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsense data. The score reflects the verified high value of the actual company, heavily discounted by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the necessity for external verification.
