Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Range is a verified Series B WealthTech company with significant traction ($40M+ funding, ~$3B Assets Under Advisement), despite the submission containing low-quality, hyperbolic data (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used it). The project has high real-world utility for high-net-worth individuals, offering AI-driven financial planning ('Rai'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized by the submission's inaccuracy and lack of detail.
