Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

NewtonX is a legitimate, high-growth Series B company with over $47M in funding and clear product-market fit in the B2B research sector. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, featuring lazy and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'Audience Reach: everyone', 'Evidence: most people have used my product'). While the verifiable external traction (partnerships with Microsoft, 100+ employees) justifies a high score relative to the baseline, the final result is heavily penalized due to the lack of effort and accuracy in the input data.
