Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'imBee' is a verified, venture-backed Series A company (approx. $5M funding, ~50 employees) offering a legitimate B2B conversational commerce platform with high utility in the Asian market. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and missing financial data. While the external reality of the business validates strong traction and market timing, the score is significantly penalized due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the entry and the careless nature of the submission.
