Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Wingman (YC S19) was a verified, successful sales coaching platform acquired by Clari in 2022, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and market relevance. However, this specific submission contains extremely low-quality data, including hallucinated traction claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate audience descriptions ('everyone'). The score reflects the project's proven historical success and acquisition status (high Utility/Traction/Innovation scores), significantly dampened by the poor quality factors assigned due to the unreliable submission details.
