Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Markaaz is a verifiable B2B enterprise data platform (Series A, ~$4.6M+ funding, based in Austin, TX) addressing a genuine market need for KYB/verification. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' audience) and conflating revenue with market cap ($75M). While external verification confirms the project's legitimacy and moderate traction (~$6.7M est. revenue, strategic partnerships like Mastercard), the 'Proof' provided in the input is weak, significantly penalizing the final score despite the underlying technology's potential.
