Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains a critical data integrity failure: the Project Name/URL identifies 'Digicert' (a major digital trust authority), but the Description text describes 'Wellfound' (a hiring platform). While the team size (1,600+) and domain authority suggest a massive incumbent, the incoherence of the entry and vague claims ('most people have used my product') result in a severe penalty. The score reflects the potential of the entity heavily discounted by the red flags in the submission quality.
