Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

ELVTR is a verified, significant EdTech player with estimated annual revenue between $10M-$30M and over 9,300 students. The project offers high real-world utility through cohort-based courses taught by industry practitioners (e.g., from Google, Microsoft). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and missing critical data. While the underlying business is strong and established—likely surpassing the calibration benchmark in revenue—the final score is heavily penalized by low confidence multipliers due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
