Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

CatererGlobal is a verifiable, established market leader in hospitality recruitment (launched 2004, part of StepStone Group) with significant real-world utility and traction. However, the project submission itself contains hyperbolic, inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and confusing revenue data ('all time marketcap: 500000'). While the platform's actual scale warrants a high score (verified traffic and corporate backing), the score is heavily penalized due to the low quality and reliability of the submitted information.
