Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Snorkel AI is a verified 'unicorn' status company with high-value technology originating from Stanford AI Lab, addressing critical data labeling bottlenecks in enterprise AI. However, the submission itself (by 'SilentBlade') contains significant factual errors and hyperbole (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and incorrect team/financial data). The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the Snorkel AI platform, heavily penalized by low confidence in the specific claims provided in this submission.
