Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Slintel is a verified, high-value B2B sales intelligence platform acquired by 6sense in 2021, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and market traction. However, the submission itself ('StarShade') is of poor quality, containing clearly false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying project is a major success (Series A funding, acquisition), the score is penalized heavily for the inaccurate and lazy submission details.
