Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Magentic.com is a legitimate, high-potential supply chain AI startup backed by Sequoia Capital (Seed raised ~$5.5M). However, the project submission itself ('ShadowShade') is low-quality, containing false data ('marketcap 50000', 'most people have used my product') and vague descriptions. The score reflects the verified high utility and innovation of the actual Magentic platform, heavily penalized by the poor quality and inaccuracy of the submission evidence.
