Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate, established B2B software business ('Checkbox') with verifiable revenue ($2M-$6M estimated) and a team of ~40-50 people, aligning with the user's data. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and sparse details. While the underlying business utility and traction are strong (comparable to or exceeding the calibration reference), the score is significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission itself and the vagueness regarding the specific entity (Survey tool vs. Workflow Automation platform).
