Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Project 'JustPaid.io' (actually JustPaid.ai) is a legitimate Y Combinator (W23) company with ~$3.5M seed funding and strong utility in AI billing/AR automation. However, the submission quality is critically poor and deceptive, claiming a team size of '501-1,000' (reality: <20) and audience reach of 'most people' (reality: early B2B traction). This disconnect between verifiable reality and submitted claims heavily penalizes the Evidence of Traction and Response Quality scores, placing the final score in the 'Minimal Traction/Red Flags' range despite the startup's promising nature.
