Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'One Concern' (submitted as 'ThunderGale') is a legitimate, high-utility disaster resilience company backed by significant funding ($119M+). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring false claims ('most people have used my product') and incorrect naming. While the real-world entity has strong technical roots (Stanford-founded) and verified B2B traction (partnerships with SOMPO, etc.), the score is penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the laziness of the input data.
