Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Coupa Software is a verified industry giant in Business Spend Management (BSM) with a history of an $8B market cap and massive enterprise adoption. However, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring lazy and inaccurate inputs (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users for a B2B product). The project receives a high base score for its undeniable real-world utility and verified decacorn-level traction, but is significantly penalized for the poor quality of the submission and lack of specific, verifiable details in the text fields. The score places it in the 'Much larger scale' category, though at the lower end due to the submission quality penalties.
