Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission for 'DeepClaw' points to the domain of Trustero, a legitimate and high-potential Series A GRC automation company. While the project itself demonstrates strong real-world utility, verified funding ($18.3M), and technical pedigree (founder sold SignalFx for $1B), the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hallucinated names and false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high value of the underlying business (Trustero) heavily penalized for the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission data.
