Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Noldor is a legitimate, venture-backed InsurTech company (Series A, ~$10M funding) solving significant data fragmentation problems in the insurance industry. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the project's real-world utility and financial traction are high, the score is penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the misleading reach claims.
