Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Sopheon is a verified, high-value enterprise software company recently acquired for ~£115m ($145m+), significantly exceeding the submission's stated metrics. While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction (200+ blue-chip customers), the submission itself contained inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people' use the product and listing a £17m market cap/revenue figure that contradicts public records). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the entity, penalized by the low quality of the user-submitted data.
