Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Teampay' refers to a legitimate, well-established B2B spend management platform (acquired by Paystand) with significant market presence. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), inaccurate audience targeting ('everyone'), and missing metrics. While the underlying entity has high utility and traction, the submission's lack of effort and evidence necessitates a penalty on the Quality Factors, resulting in a score comparable to the calibration baseline rather than the higher tier the company would merit with a proper submission.
