Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Maxa AI is a verifiable, Series A funded ($21M USD) enterprise software company specializing in ERP data automation and Snowflake-native analytics. Despite the low-quality submission (incorrect name 'DeepForge', false claims of 'everyone' as audience), external validation confirms significant traction with ~50-80 employees and enterprise customers like Bell and AJW. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical innovation (Snowflake Startup Challenge winner). The score reflects the company's actual market position, heavily weighted by verified external traction, while penalizing the specific response quality.
