Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Drip (dripshop.live) is a legitimate, venture-backed Series A company with ~$28.5M in funding and significant market traction (est. $5.4M revenue), positioning it well above the calibration baseline for scale. However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), false data ('everyone' as audience), and inaccurate metadata (2013 launch vs actual 2021). The score reflects the strong underlying business reality, heavily penalized for the poor quality and reliability of the submission data.
