+546
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Skimmer is a highly successful, verified Series C SaaS company with ~$89M in funding and ~29,000 professional users, significantly outperforming the 'Proof of Usefulness' baseline. However, the submission itself contained low-quality, hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') which contradicted the niche B2B reality. The score reflects the project's massive verified real-world utility and traction (Score ~600+), heavily penalized for the poor quality of the submission evidence.
