Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Nakisa is a highly established enterprise software provider (est. 1990) with significant scale (750 employees, 1,100+ enterprise clients including Walmart and Pfizer). The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility in lease accounting and workforce planning. However, the submission quality was inconsistent; while the project description provided verifiable data, specific input fields (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') were hyperbolic and inaccurate for a B2B product. The score reflects the company's strong market position and proven traction, dampened slightly by the low quality of the specific form responses.
