Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

xiQ is a legitimate, established B2B sales intelligence platform with significant verified traction (estimated $20M+ annual revenue, ~100 employees). While the submission text was low-quality (containing hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone'), external validation confirms it is a successful 'scale-up' company. The platform leverages AI and behavioral science (DISC) effectively, positioning it well in the current market. The score reflects its strong business fundamentals, despite the poor quality of the submission entry.
