Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Ymirlabs is a verified venture studio based in Oslo, Norway, with a portfolio of over 20 startups and 3 reported exits. While the submission quality was extremely poor (containing hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and generic audiences), external verification confirms a legitimate organization with significant traction and a team of ~40 people. The discrepancy between the project name 'Ymirlabs' and the name field 'SwiftClaw' suggests a submission error, but the description clearly delineates the venture studio model. The score reflects the solid real-world utility and verified traction of the studio, heavily penalized by the lack of effort and precision in the submission data.
