Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

TextGrid is a verifiable B2B telecommunications platform offering SMS, voice, and email APIs, positioning itself as a cost-effective alternative to Twilio. While the project is a legitimate business entity (referenced in SEC filings regarding Core AI Holdings/Siyata Mobile), the submission is heavily penalized for hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and a lack of verifiable supporting data. External search reveals discrepancies in team size (submission claims 125, external databases list 1-10) and mixed user reviews concerning deliverability, though the claimed 'marketcap' of 17M likely reflects a valuation or related public entity metric.
