Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

PiinPoint is a verified, established location intelligence company (founded 2013) with a functional B2B SaaS product and team of ~20 employees. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone') and invalid data ('marketcap: null'). While external verification confirms the project's legitimacy and market presence comparable to the calibration benchmark, the score is heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission itself.
