Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Pawlicy Advisor is a legitimate, Series B funded ($20M+) pet insurance marketplace with estimated annual revenue of ~$8M and a significant partnership with the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). While the submission provided extremely low-quality data (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms strong market traction, a team of ~45 employees, and a functional, high-utility platform. The score reflects its established status and revenue scale, far exceeding the baseline, though penalized slightly for the lack of major carrier coverage (e.g., Trupanion, Nationwide) and the poor quality of the entry form.
