Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

UpMail is a legitimate, established B2B SaaS platform (founded ~2014) serving major hospitality clients like Hard Rock, Accor, and Radisson with verified integrations (Oracle, Delphi). However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking verified data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified external traction of the business, significantly penalized by the lack of direct evidence and low-quality responses in the submission.
