Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

While the submission contained significant errors (e.g., 'marketcap: null', 'everyone' as audience), external verification confirms CanvasHeroes is a legitimate, successful strategic digital agency in Amsterdam (est. 2016). Their flagship work, the 'Ommetje' app for the Dutch Brain Foundation, has reached 1.7 million users, validating the 'Audience Reach' and 'Traction' far beyond the poor input data. The score reflects this verified real-world impact (comparable to the calibration benchmark) rather than the low-quality form submission.
