Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Productiv is a prominent, Series C funded SaaS management platform with over $73M in verified funding and significant enterprise traction (customers include Uber, Box, Zoom). While the project itself represents high real-world utility and strong market timing in the SaaS consolidation space, the submission quality was exceptionally poor—containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lazy data entry. The score reflects the high verifiable value of the company (revenue likely >$50M based on stage) adjusted downward by quality factors to account for the lack of evidence provided in the submission itself.
