Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'Welcome.AI' suffers from significant credibility issues, most notably the demonstrably false traction claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the domain itself likely possesses intrinsic value as a directory in the high-growth AI sector, the project data (launching in 2016 with only 3 team members and no verifiable revenue or active user metrics) suggests a 'zombie' status or a low-effort submission. The audience definition ('everyone') and revenue field ('marketcap: null') further indicate a lack of professional execution. The score is buoyed solely by the market relevance of the AI topic and the theoretical utility of the described platform, but heavily penalized for poor response quality and exaggerated claims.

With the data we have from the users using the site for research we believe we can provide more targeted marketing automation tools for the AI companies. \n\nWe are changing software marketing by creating a network specifically for the purpose of discovery and education of new software and technology. Starting with AI, then new and emerging technology. After further refinement of our content personalization algorithms we will eventually move into all software. \n
