Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'And Open' (&Open) is a legitimate, high-growth Series A corporate gifting platform with significant external traction ($26M+ funding, major global clients). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect categorization ('Accessibility'), and a likely unrelated submitter name ('CrimsonStone'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified market position of the underlying business, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and professionalism in the submission data.
