Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

SmartCue is a verified B2B SaaS product (Seed stage, ~$100k funding) enabling interactive product demos, competing with Navattic and Walnut. While the product has verifiable utility and early traction (G2 High Performer, Product Hunt launch), the submission quality is critically low. The project name 'ThunderStorm' contradicts the URL, and claims of 'everyone' audience and 'most people' traction are demonstrably false, resulting in significant quality penalties. The score reflects a promising early-stage tool hampered by a low-effort, inaccurate submission.
