Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Spiky.ai is a legitimate seed-stage company (raised ~$3.3M) offering AI-driven sales coaching and analytics, which provides significant real-world utility. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone'), missing data, and lack of effort. While the verified technology and market position are strong (scoring ~245 raw), the specific PoU score is heavily penalized by the 'Vague/Unsupported' Quality Factor (0.5) applied to the submission's lack of credible evidence. The final score reflects a promising early-stage venture hampered by a failed submission process.
