Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Reelo is a verified, venture-backed SaaS startup (founded 2017) with significant scale (~73 employees, ~$1.27M funding, ~17,000 claimed business users). While the project has strong real-world utility and verified traction in the restaurant CRM space, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and inaccurate revenue figures (listing valuation as revenue). The score reflects the verified strength of the business (comparable to or larger than the calibration reference) heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided responses.
