Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Casting Networks is a verified, dominant market leader in the entertainment casting industry with estimated revenues between $25M-$68M and over 300 employees. However, the project submission itself contains low-quality, hyperbolic data (e.g., audience reach claiming 'everyone', traction claiming 'most people', and missing revenue data). While the actual entity possesses exceptional utility and traction, the specific 'Proof' provided in this submission is weak. Consequently, the score is heavily penalized by Quality Factors (0.5) in the Reach and Traction categories, resulting in a final score comparable to the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) rather than the much higher score (>600) the entity would warrant with a substantiated submission.
