Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

DealerSocket is a verified market leader in automotive SaaS with an estimated $180M in annual revenue and 9,000+ dealership clients, acquired by Solera in 2021. While the specific submission provided low-quality/inaccurate data (e.g., audience 'everyone', active users empty), external validation confirms it is a high-utility, massive-scale enterprise platform. The score reflects the immense real-world value and traction of the entity, adjusted downward slightly for the poor quality of the submission evidence.
