Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

RaftLabs is a verifiable, successful B2B software agency (est. 2017) with ~50 employees and industry awards (Clutch Champion). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring pseudonyms ('ThunderClaw'), facetious claims ('most people have used my product'), and missing financial data. While the underlying business is solid and profitable (est. $3M+ revenue based on headcount), the score is penalized heavily for the lack of serious evidence provided in the application and the exaggerated reach claims. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility as a service provider but lacks the proprietary product leverage of higher-scoring tech ventures.
