Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Optii is a verified, established hotel operations platform acquired by MCR Hotels in 2021. While the submission contained low-quality, exaggerated claims (e.g., 'Audience: everyone', 'Traction: most people'), external validation confirms it is a market-leading B2B SaaS solution used to service over 10 million guest rooms globally. The project has high real-world utility, verified enterprise traction (IHG, Ritz-Carlton), and significant revenue (~$5M+ est.), placing it well above the calibration baseline despite the poor submission quality.
