Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission describes 'Uncommon Purpose Ventures' (despite the mismatched name 'WhisperBlade'), a legitimate venture studio/incubator with a verified high-value exit (Traction Guest acquired by PSG in 2021). While the submission quality is extremely poor (containing hyperbolic claims like audience reach being 'everyone' and 'most people' having used the product), independent verification confirms the entity's substantial track record, 60+ person team, and valid portfolio status. The score reflects the proven real-world utility and traction of the underlying organization, heavily penalized for the low-effort and inaccurate response data.
