Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Pliance is a verified, established RegTech company (acquired by Verified in 2023) providing essential AML/PEP screening APIs with significant real-world traction (1M+ monitored users). However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing inaccurate claims (e.g., 'everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') and lacking detail. The score reflects the high verifiable utility and market success of the software, heavily discounted by the lack of direct evidence in the submission and the low quality of the response.
