Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Clocky is a widely recognized, commercially successful consumer product with a clear value proposition for deep sleepers. While the project possesses immense real-world traction (millions of units sold, Shark Tank history), the submission itself is of low quality, relying on hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and lacking specific revenue or user data. The score reflects the product's verified global reach and utility, significantly discounted by the poor evidence and lack of detail in the application.
