Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Treez is a verifiable, market-leading enterprise point-of-sale platform for the cannabis industry with significant traction (Series C, $260M valuation, ~170 employees). While the submission text contained hallucinations ('space-technology') and vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'), the specific financial figure provided ($260M) was verifiable and accurate. The project scores highly on utility, traction, and market position based on external reality, though the score is dampened by the low quality of the submission response regarding audience and reach.
