Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Vic.ai is a verified, high-growth Series C fintech company (raised ~$115M) offering significant real-world utility in AP automation. However, the submission itself is of very poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods ('most people have used my product', 'Audience: everyone') and generic spam text. While the 'Team Size: 106' and 'Launch Date: 2017' data points are accurate and verifiable, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the text fields and the low-effort response. The final score reflects a high-value asset weighed down by a non-credible submission.
