Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Huckleberry Labs is a legitimate, high-traction Series A company ($16M funding, 5M+ families served) offering a validated pediatric sleep solution. While the submission text itself was low-quality and hyperbolic (claiming 'most people have used my product' and reach is 'everyone'), external verification confirms substantial real-world utility, massive user adoption (40k+ App Store reviews), and a strong market position. The score reflects the project's verified success and scale, heavily weighted by verified traction and utility, despite the poor quality of the specific submission response.
