Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Knight FinTech is a verified, high-growth B2B fintech company (Series A, Accel-backed, ~$30M funding) delivering critical banking infrastructure. While the project's actual traction (85+ financial institutions, ~$3.7M revenue) and team size (~300 employees) place it in a high-tier category (Calibration: 400-700), the submission quality was exceptionally poor. The submitter provided inaccurate claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience, 'most people' as traction) and exaggerated the team size (750 claimed vs ~300 verified). The final score reflects the project's strong real-world utility and verified market position, heavily penalized for the low quality of the submitted evidence.
