Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

SafeSocial addresses a highly relevant market need for brand safety and risk mitigation using NLP and ML. However, the submission provides highly exaggerated and unverified claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). Despite a promising concept and relevant market timing, the lack of verifiable metrics and vague responses significantly suppress the overall proof of usefulness score.

Description
Everyone's interacting more on social media. Companies know that's where their customers are. People get their new and, entertainment there. In addition to the value it provides, social media creates new and unique challenges. On the one hand, it's an expanding space to find new customers and engage existing ones. On the other hand, social media is fast-paced and less structured. That exposes everyone to the risk of serious reputation damage. We provide a Social Risk Score as part of our Social Risk Report. We flag posts, likes, comments so you can take action where its needed. SafeSocial helps protect you and your brand's reputation in the dynamic space of social media and popular culture. We use Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to analyze content and let you know where you're at risk. With alarming frequency, content on social media does serious damage to people and brands that post and engage in conversations. Some incidents are accidental or not well thought out. Others are posted with malicious intent. Either way, once a damaging post goes live on social media, it lives forever on the Internet. For business customers, the SafeSocial platform uses proprietary technology to monitor and analyze social media posts before they're published to improve safety, brand fidelity and network engagement. When your company uses SafeSocial to ensure your social media posts and conversations are safe and compliant, you know that all content--text, images, hashtags, conversations and links--is evaluated before it's published. Anything with the potential to violate your company's policies for social media publication is flagged and blocked before it gets published.
