Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Mothership is a verified, high-growth Series C freight technology company with estimated $54M annual revenue and significant backing from top-tier investors like Benchmark and WestCap. The platform addresses critical real-world inefficiencies in short-haul freight and last-mile logistics. However, the submission quality is critically low, relying on hyperbolic claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') rather than the verifiable B2B metrics available. The score reflects the company's substantial external success ($54M revenue vs HackerNoon's $2M), heavily penalized for the poor quality of evidence provided in the input.
