Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

BookingPal is a well-established (Series C, ~$22M+ funding) B2B travel technology company with significant market traction and verified scale (125+ employees, global integrations). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect field usage (valuation listed as revenue), and vague descriptors ('Leisure' listed as technology). The high score reflects the verifiable success of the business entity, heavily penalized by the lack of effort and precision in the submission data.
