Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Q-Sensei is a legitimate, established enterprise search company (founded 2007) with verifiable history (approx. $5M funding, ~30 employees). However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false claims about audience reach ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate financial terminology. While the technology (Q-Sensei Fuse/Logs) has real-world B2B utility, the company appears to be in a late/stagnant stage compared to modern AI search competitors. The score reflects the company's verified existence and past traction, heavily penalized for the deceptive and lazy submission data.
