Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Achievers is a highly established 'Institutional Grade' B2B SaaS platform in the employee recognition space, launched in 2002 and acquired for over $100M. The project possesses immense real-world utility and verified traction with global enterprise clients. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific data. Consequently, while the base scores reflect the company's actual market dominance, the Quality Factors and Response Quality score were penalized heavily to reflect the poor submission effort.
