Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

QA Wolf is a verified Series B company with significant traction (187 employees) and venture backing, solving a high-value problem in automated software testing. While the project's real-world utility and technical foundation are strong, the submission quality was notably poor, containing exaggerated audience claims ('everyone') and invalid traction evidence ('most people'). These factors significantly reduced the Quality Factors for Audience and Traction, pulling the final score down from a potential 700+ to the high 500s.

Description
QA Wolf is on a mission to reinvent QA for software teams. Instead of laborious manual testing or automation frameworks that distract developers, our unique combination of people + platform makes it dramatically easier for teams to ship bug-free software, fast.\n\nWe are backed by top-tier venture capital and industry leaders including Notation Capital, CoFound Partners, and founders of Gumroad and AngelList. \n\nWe are growing insanely fast and raised a large amount of funding recently (unannounced) to expand our team. We need to find the core group of people that will shape the direction of our company, and in turn, the development industry.
