Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Vena Solutions is a well-established, high-value enterprise FP&A platform with significant market presence, verified by domain and external knowledge. However, the submission itself provided poor, hyperbolic, and lazy data (e.g., 'everyone' audience, 'most people' traction). The score reflects the high verifiable reality of the business (large revenue, team, and utility) heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided evidence.
