Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Orum is a legitimate, high-growth B2B sales acceleration platform (Series B, ~$50M funding, ~167 employees, est. $15M ARR). While the submission text itself was poor (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as traction), external verification confirms strong market fit, significant revenue, and a verified customer base of ~1,200 companies. The project falls into the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (>$10M revenue, 50+ team), justifying a high score despite the low quality of the submission data.
