Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

TeamOut is a verifiable Y Combinator-backed (W22) startup addressing the growing market for corporate retreats in the remote-work era. While the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (containing false claims like 'everyone' and missing metrics), external verification confirms significant legitimacy: ~$560k+ in seed funding, operational platform, and clear problem-solution fit. The score reflects high real-world utility and verified investor traction, heavily penalized by the submitter's lack of effort and inaccurate data provision.
