Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

HumanFirst.ai is a legitimate, venture-backed ($5M Seed) productivity suite for NLU and AI data, founded by experienced entrepreneurs (ex-Passwordbox). While the project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical competence in the burgeoning GenAI operations market, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('everyone'). The score reflects the strong external verification of the company's funding and technology, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission.
