+645
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'ClassPass' is a widely recognized unicorn in the fitness technology space with massive verifiable reach and revenue ($1B+ valuation), far exceeding the baseline calibration. However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), a mismatch in project name ('ThunderBlade'), and a generic email address. While the underlying business fundamentals are strong, the Proof of Usefulness score is penalized by the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission and the potential identity/submission integrity issues.
