Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Clockwise is a verified Series C startup with over $76M in funding and significant market traction (10k+ organizations), placing it in the 'Much Larger Scale' category. However, the submission quality is extremely poor (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people', unprofessional username 'MysticRider'). The score reflects the high verifiable utility and market position of the product, heavily penalized by the low quality of the submission evidence.
