Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Boost Commerce is a highly established player in the Shopify ecosystem with verifiable traction (13,000+ merchants) and a significant team size (100 employees), placing it well above early-stage startups. However, the submission quality was notably poor, with vague claims like 'everyone' for audience and 'most people' for traction, which necessitated a penalty on the Quality Factors. Despite the lazy input, the underlying business fundamentals (revenue, utility, and market position) drive a high score.
