Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Blink' is identified as the established Amazon-owned smart home security brand (blinkforhome.com). While the real-world utility, reach, and traction of the actual product are exceptional (global scale, millions of users), the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate tags ('electric-vehicles'). The score reflects the massive verifiable reality of the business, significantly penalized by the lack of direct evidence and poor data quality in the submission.
