Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Unit' is a well-established Banking-as-a-Service unicorn with significant verifiable traction (valuation ~$1.2B, Series C). However, this specific submission is of very low quality, containing nonsensical data points (e.g., 'construction' as a technology, 'everyone' as the audience, invalid email format). While the intrinsic value of the platform is high, the score is penalized due to the vague and careless nature of the input data, which fails to accurately detail the technical implementation or specific audience metrics.
