Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

SilkFlo is a verified B2B SaaS platform addressing a genuine need in the Intelligent Automation (IA) space: governing and tracking ROI for RPA/AI initiatives to replace spreadsheet management. While the project itself has demonstrable utility and enterprise case studies (e.g., LARS Group, Microsoft Marketplace listing), the submission quality is extremely poor. The submitter made factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and provided confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 2500000' likely conflated with client ROI tracked). The score reflects the legitimate utility and market timing of the software, heavily penalized by the lack of accurate data and professional effort in the submission.
