Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

SmartViz is a legitimate, high-value B2B platform for building analytics and digital twins, with verified enterprise traction including major contracts with Vodafone ($40M savings) and Cardiff Metropolitan University (£5.1M savings). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing significant errors (wrong project name 'SilentShade', nonsensical revenue data) and blatantly false claims about reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high verified utility and enterprise traction of the actual software, heavily penalized by the lack of credible data in the submission fields.
