Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

DexGuru is a verifiable, established DeFi trading terminal (Series A funded, $6M raised, historically 10M+ monthly pageviews) offering significant real-world utility. However, the submission itself was extremely low-quality (claiming launch year '1994', audience 'everyone', and technologies 'space-technology'). While the project's actual reach and utility drive a high score, the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' metrics were heavily penalized due to the vague and factually incorrect data provided in the submission form.
