Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents 'Whistleblower Software' (now rebranding to Formalize), a verified Series A company with €15M+ in funding and over 1,000 corporate clients. While the submission text itself was of extremely poor quality (vague claims, inaccurate reach description), external verification confirms high real-world utility, significant market traction, and strong financial backing. The project scores highly on utility and traction metrics, adjusted down slightly for the lack of technical detail provided in the submission.
