Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

TextUs is a verified Series C company with ~$13M+ estimated annual revenue and significant market presence in the staffing and recruiting sectors. While the submission data was sparse and of low quality (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing no metrics), external verification confirms it is a leading B2B conversational messaging platform. The high score reflects the project's proven real-world utility, strong traction (600+ G2 reviews, $30M+ funding), and market relevance, despite the significant penalty applied to the Response Quality for the lack of effort in the submission.
