Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ricochet360 is a verifiable, established B2B SaaS platform (founded 2010) offering significant utility in the sales automation/CRM space. Independent verification confirms a team size of ~100-150 and substantial market presence (likely $10M+ ARR), placing it in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'traction: most people have used my product') and vague technical details ('Computer Software'). The final score reflects the high verifiable real-world value of the software, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the hyperbolic and unsupported submission text.
