Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Tellius is a legitimate, high-value 'Augmented Analytics' platform (Series B, founded ~2016) that leverages AI to automate business intelligence. However, the project submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'most people have used my product', confusing revenue with market cap, and listing a generic email). While the actual technology and market position are strong (scoring in the 600s comparable to established scale-ups), the submission's poor quality and false claims regarding reach and traction resulted in heavy penalties to the Quality Factors.
