Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Pia (pia.ai) is a verified, venture-backed AI automation platform for MSPs with significant team size (146 employees) and market traction (Series A funding). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing patently false claims about audience reach ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific metrics. The score reflects the high real-world utility and technical validity of the actual company, heavily penalized by the poor evidence quality and inaccuracy of the submission data.
