Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Odore is a verified, revenue-generating B2B marketing platform (est. $8M ARR, ~43 employees) with high real-world utility and major clients (L'Oreal, LVMH). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing vague claims ('everyone'), inflated team size metrics (125 claimed vs ~43 actual), and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying business is strong and outperforms the baseline reference, the score is heavily penalized due to poor data accuracy and lack of detailed evidence in the submission.
