Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

LendOS is a legitimate, high-traction fintech project (Series A, $17.9M funding led by Blackstone) addressing critical infrastructure needs in the private credit market. Despite the high-value reality verified via external search, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and missing data. The score reflects the verified high utility, market timing, and institutional backing, heavily penalized by the poor response quality.
