Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

OrangeSlices AI is a verified, legitimate competitive intelligence platform serving the Federal IT and GovCon sector with demonstrable industry recognition (e.g., Elev8 GovCon awards). However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims about reach ('everyone'), nonsensical revenue data ('marketcap: null'), and exaggerated traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has real-world utility and a clear niche market, the score is heavily penalized by the low credibility of the submission data.
