Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Vori is a verified Series A startup ($15.3M funding) providing a B2B operating system for independent grocers, backed by investors like Greylock and Y Combinator. While the submission itself was low-quality (listing 'leadership' as technology and 'everyone' as the audience), external investigation confirms strong real-world utility, significant partnership traction (e.g., KeHE, Mollie Stone's), and legitimate technical innovation (VoriOS). The final score reflects the high value of the project, adjusted downward slightly for the poor quality of the submission data.
