Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

TravClan is a verified, significant B2B travel platform with over $5M in revenue and ~300 employees, placing it well above the calibration baseline for scale. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and strong verifiable traction (Series A funding, 15k+ agents), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking detail. The score reflects the strong business fundamentals discovered through expert verification, heavily penalized by the low-quality input data.
