Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Project is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B SaaS (Series Seed, ~$6M raised) solving a high-utility problem (A2P 10DLC compliance). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsense data ('marketcap: null'). External verification confirms strong fundamentals ($2M+ revenue, patents, major customers like Constant Contact), which rescues the score. The discrepancy between the project's actual value and the submission's quality results in significant penalties via Quality Factors.
