Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

CommerceIQ is a verified unicorn-status company (Series D, >$1B valuation) with significant market traction and a team of ~670 employees. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility in the enterprise retail e-commerce space. However, the submission quality was notably poor, with vague placeholders for audience ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), despite verifiable public data proving high success. The score reflects the massive scale and proven utility of the business, penalized slightly for the low-effort submission details.
