Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

YData is a verifiable, venture-backed startup (approx. $3.2M funding) with massive open-source traction (10k+ GitHub stars for 'ydata-profiling'). However, the submission quality is critically low, failing to provide specific metrics and relying on hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'. The score acknowledges the high real-world utility and market relevance of the actual company while applying significant penalties for the lack of provided evidence and poor response quality.
