Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mem0 is a legitimate, high-traction Series A project (YC S24) solving a critical problem in the AI agent space (memory/state). While the submission itself was low-quality (vague audience, hyperbolic traction claims, confusion between valuation and revenue), external verification confirms exceptional metrics: $24M raised at $150M valuation, 46k+ GitHub stars, and widespread developer adoption. The score reflects the project's 'Much larger scale' status and perfect market timing, penalized slightly for the poor submission quality.
