Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

DataClover is a verified, high-growth company (Inc. 5000 honoree #2147 in 2021) with significant real-world utility in the automotive service industry. However, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing inaccurate claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the strong external evidence of traction and business viability, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the response and the niche nature of the actual reach compared to the claimed reach.
