Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Bridger is a legitimate and valuable Independent Management Entity (IME) for music copyright, launched in 2022 as a subsidiary of Llama Group (Winamp, Jamendo). It solves a critical 'black box' royalty problem for independent songwriters. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), typos, and missing data. While the external verification confirms a robust, venture-backed platform with significant industry partnerships (BMI, Audiam), the score is heavily penalized by the submitter's negligence and lack of accurate evidence.
