Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Ampush is a verified, high-traction AdTech company acquired by Tinuiti in 2023. While the submission text was minimal and low-effort ('most people have used my product'), the submitter's email domain (@ampush.com) and the accurate team size (170) align with verified external data confirming significant revenue ($25M+) and market presence. The score reflects the high real-world utility and established traction of the entity, penalized slightly for the lack of detail in the submission response.
