Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Neufin is a legitimate, venture-backed (Seed round ~$972K) climate finance platform in India, despite the extremely poor and hyperbolic quality of the submission (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction). External verification confirms partnerships with major entities like Mahindra and GreenTrade, and a focus on B2B renewable energy financing. The project has high real-world utility and market timing, but the submission's lack of effort and accuracy heavily penalized the Response Quality and Audience Reach scores. The score reflects a 'Small but promising' venture whose actual traction exceeds the low-quality evidence provided.
