Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Threecolts is a verified, high-traction SaaS aggregator in the e-commerce space, having raised over $90M and acquired multiple tools serving 22,000+ customers. Despite the high-value underlying business and significant team size (500-750), the submission quality was poor, utilizing vague terms ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the project's substantial real-world scale and utility, heavily penalized by the low-effort submission which obscured its technical innovation.
