Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Tripgrid is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B SaaS platform (Series A, ~$4M funding) serving the niche team travel market with verified customers like Feld Entertainment. Despite the low-quality submission (containing hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and null revenue data), external validation confirms significant real-world utility and traction. The project is comparable in business solidity to the calibration benchmark (HackerNoon), justifying a similar score range despite the poor response quality.
