+610
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Kaleido is a verifiable market leader in the enterprise blockchain space with significant revenue (~$13M-$25M) and team size (50-200 employees), exceeding the 'Much Larger Scale' baseline. It provides high-utility infrastructure for global consortia (e.g., WWF, World Bank) and holds major certifications (ISO27K, SOC 2). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone') and vague data. The final score reflects the project's high verified real-world value and traction, significantly penalized by the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission text.
