Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

RubensteinTech is a verifiable, established B2B technology company (founded 2002) that was acquired by Banyan Software in 2023, indicating significant real-world value and traction. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing vague 'consumer' claims (e.g., 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') for what is actually a niche enterprise CMS for law firms (RubyLaw). The score reflects the high verifiable traction and utility of the underlying business, heavily penalized by the low-effort and inaccurate submission data.
