Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

BookMyShow is a dominant market leader in the Indian entertainment ticketing sector, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and massive audience reach. As a 'unicorn' company with verified traction (revenue and users in the millions), it inherently scores highly on utility, reach, and traction. However, the specific submission provided is of low quality, featuring vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking technical depth, which negatively impacted the Technical Innovation and Response Quality scores. The final score reflects the established success of the platform, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission evidence.
