Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission describes Bloomreach, a major B2B commerce unicorn ($2.2B+ valuation), despite being titled 'WhisperKeeper'. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and massive reach, powering 25% of US/UK e-commerce. However, the submission quality is poor, with vague fields ('everyone', 'most people') and likely erroneous revenue data ($2.5M market cap vs actual billions). The score reflects the immense scale and traction of the underlying business, penalized slightly for the low-effort data entry.
