Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

PostGrid is a legitimate, established B2B platform with verified traction significantly exceeding the baseline (est. $4.4M revenue, ~35 employees). It solves a high-value problem by modernizing physical mail and address verification via API. While the project itself demonstrates high utility and market fit with over 200 verfiied G2 reviews, the submission text was extremely poor (hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, penalized slightly for the lack of verifiable detail in the user's specific response.
