Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Phyllo is a verified Series A funded 'Universal API for Creator Data' with $17.8M in funding (RTP Global, Nexus) and ~65-85 employees. While the project submission itself was low-quality (containing typos, empty fields, and hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'), independent analysis confirms strong B2B utility, significant market traction, and a solid technical foundation. The score reflects the high value of the business infrastructure (comparable to or exceeding the calibration reference) while applying a penalty for the poor submission quality.
