Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Lendflow is a legitimate, high-traction embedded credit infrastructure platform with verifiable success ($1.5B+ volume, ~$13M+ funding). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic false claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people'), inaccurate metrics (team size 350 vs actual ~50), and incorrect data labeling ('marketcap' for revenue). The score reflects the project's strong real-world utility and market position, heavily penalized for the unreliability of the provided input.
