Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

TonDone (formerly Signal Cortex) is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B SaaS for facility management that raised $1.5M in 2022. However, the project submission itself contains inaccurate and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). While the underlying technology and business utility are verifiable and sound, the submission quality is extremely poor. The score reflects the solid business fundamentals (Seed funding, active product) heavily penalized by the lack of credible user data provided in the entry.
