Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Onwards HR is a verified, funded B2B company (founded 2017) specializing in employee offboarding automation, addressing a critical compliance need. While the business itself has demonstrable utility and market relevance, the submission quality was extremely poor, featuring false claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical data. The score reflects the project's legitimate external traction and value, heavily penalized for the low-effort and inaccurate submission.
