Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Drift is a verifiable 'Unicorn' and category leader in Conversational Marketing with significant real-world utility and traction (acquired by Salesloft/Vista). However, the specific project submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the massive scale and proven success of the underlying business ($1B+ valuation), heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiating evidence in the input fields.
