Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The submission itself is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. However, external verification confirms that DolphinChat (formerly CivilCops) is a legitimate, successful entity that was acquired by VeriSmart in 2022. The company has verified traction, including a seed round led by SOSV and integration into a data ecosystem reaching ~15M consumers. The score reflects the verified 'Real-World Utility' and 'Traction' of the acquired business, significantly penalized by the 'Response Quality' of this specific application.
