Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Smaply is a verified, established B2B SaaS company (founded 2012) with significant real-world utility in the Service Design sector. However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring unverifiable/exaggerated claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') which contradict the niche nature of the software. While external verification confirms a team of ~18 and a global customer base (90+ countries), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the vagueness of the response.
