Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Project verified as Take2 AI, a legitimate venture-backed startup (April 2024 Seed round, ~$3M) offering AI-powered job simulations for sales recruiting. While the user submission was extremely low quality (inaccurate reach claims, missing data, 'DeepFang' name mismatch), external search confirms strong real-world utility, valid technology (Generative AI roleplay), and verifiable traction (funding, recruiter adoption). The score is calibrated to reflect a promising seed-stage company (200-250 range), penalized heavily for the poor submission quality but boosted by objective reality.
