Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

ClockShark is a verifiable, successful SaaS company (acquired by Simpro in 2021) with high real-world utility in the construction/field service sector. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring false claims ('audience: everyone', 'evidence: most people have used my product') and a pseudonym ('CrimsonFang'). While the project reality warrants a high score (comparable to the 300-400 calibration range), the penalties for lazy and inaccurate submission data reduce the final score significantly.
