Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Thena is a legitimate, VC-backed (Lightspeed, First Round) B2B platform integrating customer support into Slack/Teams. While the project itself demonstrates high utility, strong market timing, and verified traction ($7M+ funding, clients like Mixpanel), the submission quality is critically poor. The submission contains false claims ('everyone', 'most people'), vague descriptions, and lacks verifiable data, necessitating a significant penalty on Confidence/Quality factors despite the project's external validity.
