Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

NextBillion.ai is a legitimate, well-funded Series B enterprise mapping platform (approx. $34M raised, ~100 employees) serving global logistics clients. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and vague data. While the project's real-world utility and actual traction are high, the score is heavily penalized by the low Quality Factors resulting from the lazy and inaccurate submission.
