Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Rootspace AI is a legally registered UK entity (est. 2021) addressing a valid problem in landlord finance. However, the submission is severely undermined by verifiable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product), vague audience definitions ('everyone'), and a confusing revenue/valuation metric ('marketcap 500000'). While the company exists, there is no evidence of the claimed traction or team scale (30 people) in public records, and the project is overshadowed by similarly named competitors like Rowspace. The lack of specific technical detail and the unprofessional quality of the submission significantly reduce the score.
