+420
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Second Nature AI is a verified Series B company with over $38M-$80M in funding and major enterprise clients like Zoom and Oracle. The project has high real-world utility and strong verifiable traction. However, the submission quality was extremely poor, with vague claims ('everyone') and mislabeled metrics ('marketcap' in revenue field), which significantly penalized the final score. Despite the lazy submission, the underlying business fundamentals warrant a score reflecting a 'Much Larger Scale' entity, adjusted downward for the lack of effort in the Proof of Usefulness application.
