Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Mantium' (mantiumai.com) was a legitimate, VC-backed AI PaaS that raised ~$14.5M in 2021. However, external verification indicates the company is now 'Deadpooled' (defunct/inactive) as of late 2024/2025. The submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and objectively false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', Audience Reach: 'everyone'). While the project formerly possessed technical innovation and capital, its current inactive status and the deceptive nature of the submission result in a near-zero Proof of Usefulness score.
