Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ElectionBuddy is a well-established, high-utility platform with significant verified traction (over 54 million votes cast and 121k+ administrators). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, relying on hyperbole ('everyone', 'most people') and copy-pasted text (likely from a careers page) rather than providing specific data. While the project's real-world value is high, the 'Proof' provided in this submission is minimal, resulting in a low score due to the heavy penalties on Quality Factors.
