Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Modyfi' was a legitimate, high-innovation AI design platform backed by NEA ($7M Seed) and acquired by Figma in April 2025. However, the submission fails to mention this critical status (the standalone product was sunset in June 2025) and instead provides demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). While the historical technology and traction were strong, the submission's lack of accuracy, absence of supporting evidence, and the current unavailability of the product result in a low Proof of Usefulness score. The evaluation reflects the disconnect between the project's past reality and the submission's poor quality.
