Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Knorish is a verifiable, venture-backed SaaS platform (funded by 100X.VC, Inflection Point Ventures) with established revenue (~$475k FY24) and a user base of ~38,000 academies, significantly exceeding the '500+' claim in the dated description. While the project demonstrates high real-world utility and verified traction, the submission itself is of very poor quality, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confused financial metrics ('marketcap: 101000000'). The score reflects a legitimate, revenue-generating business ('Small but promising' category) heavily penalized for the lack of professionalism in the specific submission responses.
