Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Polymath Ventures is a legitimate and established venture studio in Latin America (founded ~2011) with verifiable traction (125 employees, ~$70M raised, portfolio companies like Elenas and Autolab). However, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring exaggerated claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing data (citing a 'marketcap' likely belonging to the unrelated Polymath blockchain project). Despite the poor submission, the underlying entity's scale and utility justify a high score relative to the calibration benchmarks.
