Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Laskie was a verifiable HRTech platform acquired by Twitter (X Corp) in May 2023, demonstrating high real-world utility and market validation. However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies, including the confusing name 'DeepKeeper', hyperbolic claims of audience reach ('everyone'), and false traction statements ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying technology was successful enough for an exit (estimated $10M+), the platform is no longer independently available, and the submission quality is critically low, resulting in heavy penalties to the score.
