Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

BrightEdge is a verified, market-leading enterprise SEO platform with significant revenue and verified team scale (300+ employees). Despite the high-value underlying business, the submission itself contained low-effort, inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which negatively impacted the Response Quality and Traction Quality multipliers. However, the sheer scale, established utility, and verifiable market presence of the entity drive a high score consistent with the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier.
