Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

IV.AI is a verified enterprise AI platform (est. 2016) with significant traction, including an estimated $17.5M in annual revenue and major clients like Netflix, Uber, and Samsung. While the submission itself was low-quality (incorrect project name 'SilentRider', hyperbolic claims of 'everyone', and lack of specific metrics), external validation confirms a high-impact B2B business with strong market presence. The score reflects the high value and traction of the business, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission data.
