Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Mixhalo is a legitimate, venture-backed Series B company with high-utility technology for live events. However, the submission data provided is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate tags ('writing-and-editing'). While the core value proposition and team size (41) suggest a mature operation, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable evidence in the application and poor response quality. The score reflects a strong underlying project hampered by a failing submission.
