Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Validient is a verifiable UK-based legal tech startup (founded 2021) that recently raised £300k (Feb 2024) to automate AML/KYC compliance for law firms. While the project demonstrates genuine B2B utility and verified investor traction, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' reach, 'most people' users) and nonsense data. The score reflects the legitimate potential and funding of the business, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of technical detail provided by the submitter.
