Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Project verified as 'Numeric', a Series B funded AI accounting automation platform (raised ~$89M, backed by Menlo/IVP). The submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate data (Team Size '0'), likely due to a lazy or unauthorized submitter. However, external verification confirms high real-world utility, significant market traction (customers include Brex, OpenAI), and strong technical innovation (AI accounting agents). The score is heavily penalized (Quality Factors set to 0.5) due to the poor submission, reducing what would be a ~750+ score to ~395.
