Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Classy.org is a verified, high-impact fundraising platform with significant historical traction (acquired by GoFundMe). However, the specific submission provided is of low quality ('LunarBlade', vague claims like 'most people', missing financial data). The score reflects the undeniable utility and scale of the entity (Classy), significantly penalized by the lack of effort and verifiable details in the submission form itself. The 'Evidence of Traction' score is high due to public knowledge of the entity, but the Quality Factor is reduced due to the poor data provided.
