Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'ConvertKit' is a highly established, market-leading platform in the creator economy with verified annual revenues exceeding $30M and a large team. However, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing data ('marketcap: null'). While the external reality of the project warrants a high score (verified utility, traction, and scale), the score is penalized by the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission form. The evaluation leverages external verification to acknowledge the project's true scale (400-700 range) rather than rejecting it based solely on the lazy input.
