Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Bellhop is a verified, large-scale moving platform with over $80M in annual revenue and nearly 400 employees, operating in 60+ cities. While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction (Series C/D funded), the submission quality was extremely poor—listing 'publishing' as the technology and making hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'. The score reflects the company's verified market position as a major industry player, significantly penalized for the lack of accurate detail and evidence in the submission.
