Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Proxi is a legitimate New Zealand-based consultancy offering fractional Go-To-Market leadership to SaaS companies. Verifiable evidence confirms they have supported over 100 clients and helped raise significant capital ($75M+), indicating strong niche utility. However, the project submission contains severe inaccuracies and low-quality data: the claimed audience ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are patently false for a B2B consultancy. The claimed team size (125) contradicts external evidence suggesting a smaller boutique firm (<20 core staff), and the revenue metric ('marketcap: 500000') is nonsensical. While the underlying business is sound and valuable within its ecosystem, the PoU score is heavily penalized for false claims, lack of technical innovation (service business), and poor submission quality.
