+635
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Sifted (Logistics) is a well-established, high-revenue company ($28M+ est. annual revenue) formed from the merger of Sifted and VeriShip. The underlying business has significant real-world utility in parcel spend management and AI-driven logistics. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing verifiable inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience for B2B software, stating 'most people have used my product', and citing a 'marketcap' of 17M which contradicts revenue estimates). The score reflects the high value of the legitimate business asset (Team of ~180, not 350; established 2005) heavily penalized for low-effort and inaccurate submission responses.
