Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Spectrum Labs is a highly established player in the AI content moderation space, validated by its acquisition by ActiveFence in 2023 and prior funding of ~$46M (Series B led by Intel Capital). The technology ('Guardian AI') serves major clients like Riot Games and Grindr, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and traction. However, the specific project submission provided was of extremely low quality (vague claims, 'everyone' audience, missing metrics), which heavily penalized the Response Quality score. Despite the poor submission, the verifiable external reality of the project's scale and success drives a high Proof of Usefulness score.
