Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

IPlytics is a highly established, legitimate B2B IP intelligence platform (acquired by LexisNexis), which drives a high baseline for utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of poor quality, containing demonstrable exaggerations ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market relevance of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), significantly penalized by the low credibility of the specific claims provided in the form.
