Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

SureBright is a legitimate, venture-backed (Y Combinator, Plug and Play) 'Warranty-as-a-Service' platform with verifiable traction (~$3M funding, 500+ merchants, 64+ Shopify reviews). However, the submission quality was abysmal, featuring a copy-pasted job description instead of a product overview and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and market validation of the actual business, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submitted evidence.
