Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Unifize is a legitimate, venture-backed B2B SaaS company (Techstars alum) with estimated annual revenue of ~$2M-$4M and verifiable case studies (e.g., The Will-Burt Company, Biovation Labs). However, the project submission contains demonstrably false and lazy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), which severely penalizes the score. While the underlying business has strong real-world utility and verified traction in the manufacturing sector, the evaluation methodology heavily weighs the quality of evidence provided in the submission, resulting in a low Proof of Usefulness score despite the company's actual success.

Description
The biggest waste in manufacturing today is not on the shop floor. It's in the meetings, emails, and data transfer that overwhelm knowledge processes (eg quality assurance, vendor management, engineering, R\u0026D, and sales).\n\nThat's because traditional enterprise tools split collaboration and processes into disparate systems, resulting in up to 85% of time and effort being wasted. \n\nUnifize solves this problem by bringing collaboration and process into one place. By creating a conversation for every process record, Unifize measurably reduces waste in knowledge processes by up to 95%.\n\n
