Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Plotline is a legitimate, venture-backed (YC S22, $2.6M Seed) B2B SaaS platform with significant traction (50+ enterprise clients, ~150M end-users reachable). The platform solves a critical problem in mobile app retention using no-code in-app nudges. However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (vague claims, lazy data entry), necessitating a heavy penalty on response quality and data reliability. The high Proof of Usefulness score is derived entirely from external verification of the company's actual market position, which far exceeds the details provided in the input.
