Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Booksy is a well-established, market-leading platform in the beauty and wellness sector with significant real-world traction and revenue (Unicorn status). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring a mismatched project name ('WhisperHunter'), generic descriptions, and lazy data entry ('everyone', 'null'). The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the business domain provided, while the penalties and randomization factor account for the unprofessional submission and lack of specific evidence provided in the text.
