Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'StarClaw' is actually Modash, a verified and highly successful influencer marketing platform (Series A, $14M+ funding, ~100 employees). The submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing irrelevant tags ('energy-solutions', 'blockchain'), a likely accidental name ('StarClaw' is a Guild Wars 2 item), and lazy claims ('most people have used my product'). However, external verification confirms Modash is a market leader with 1,900+ enterprise customers. The score reflects the high value of the underlying business (400-500 range) severely penalized for the lack of professional care in the submission.

About our products: \n\nModash's flagship product is discovery and analysis.
