Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

AlumnForce is a well-established SaaS platform (founded 2008) with significant market presence in the education sector (180+ schools, estimated $2.4M revenue). While the project demonstrates strong real-world utility and verified traction, the specific submission provided low-effort responses (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as traction evidence), which negatively impacted the response quality and confidence scores. The score reflects a mature, successful business penalized for a poor application.
