Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Decorilla is a mature, high-traction business (est. 2012) in the interior design space, employing roughly 300 people and generating significant revenue. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility by democratizing access to interior design via AR/VR and online consultation. However, the submission itself was of low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. Despite the poor response quality, the verifiable external success of the company places it in the high-tier calibration bracket (400–700+), significantly above the HackerNoon baseline.
