Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Movley is a legitimate, high-potential B2B platform backed by Y Combinator (S23) and founders with verified exits (Ruggable, etc.). It solves a critical pain point (QC) for over 800 D2C brands. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing inaccurate audience claims ('everyone'), nonsensical tags ('venture-capital'), and arrogant traction statements ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals (comparable to the HackerNoon calibration) significantly dampened by the lack of effort and verifiable detail in the submission text itself.
