Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Novidea' (submitted as 'IronBlade') is a legitimate, high-traction InsurTech scale-up. External verification confirms it is a Series C company with ~$120M in funding, 350+ enterprise customers, and ~250-500 employees, significantly outperforming the user's confusing input data. The submission itself was of very poor quality (incorrect name, hallucinated traction claims like 'most people', and vague audience), which penalized the Response Quality score. However, the Real-World Utility and verifiable Evidence of Traction are exceptional, placing the project firmly in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier (400-700+).
