Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Smartesting is a verified, established B2B entity (founded 2005, Series A funding ~$7.8M) with high-utility Model-Based Testing tools (Yest, Gravity) and legitimate enterprise adoption (e.g., Allianz). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing blatant inaccuracies (claimed launch 2015, 'most people' usage, 'StarFang' alias) and lacking data. The score reflects the strong underlying technology and verified market presence, heavily penalized for the disinformation and lack of effort in the submission.
