Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Meal Ticket is a substantial, verifiable B2B SaaS company managing over $40 billion in supply chain transactions, which validates high utility and traction despite a low-quality submission. The submitted team size (350) aligns with external data involving its merger with MarketMan and $100M+ investment. However, the submission contained lazy text ('everyone', 'Computer Software') and inaccurate financial metrics ('marketcap 17000000'), resulting in significant penalties to Quality Factors.
