Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

BackerKit is a market-leading platform with massive real-world utility and reach in the crowdfunding space, earning a high baseline score. However, the submission quality was poor, relying on vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and possibly confused metrics ('marketcap: 89000000'), which significantly reduced the Traction and Response Quality scores despite the project's verifiable success.
