Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Compulse is a verified, established AdTech company with significant revenue (~$47M) and team size (~170+), backed by Sinclair Broadcast Group. However, the project submission itself ('WhisperForge') contains extremely low-quality, hyperbolic, and inaccurate data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users). While the underlying entity has high utility and traction, the PoU score is severely penalized due to the submission's lack of credible detail, confusion regarding the project name 'WhisperForge' (which has no market presence), and poor response quality.
