Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Scoutbee is a legitimate, high-value AI procurement platform with significant market traction (Series B, clients like Audi/Siemens). However, the submission itself is of very poor quality, featuring inaccurate claims ('everyone', 'most people') and a suspicious submitter persona ('CrimsonFang'). The score reflects the project's proven real-world utility and scale, heavily penalized by the low-effort and misleading response data.
