Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project refers to Virtuous Software, a highly successful Series C nonprofit CRM with over $140M in funding and a $600M valuation. However, the submission itself ('SwiftKeeper') contains significant inaccuracies, such as claiming the audience is 'everyone' (it is strictly B2B for nonprofits) and citing 'most people' as traction. Despite the low-quality submission data, the verified real-world scale of the business warrants a high score, adjusted downward for the poor evidence provided.
