Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Eventbrite, a globally established public company with massive scale (~90M monthly active users, ~$325M annual revenue). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), incorrect data fields (Market Cap listed as revenue), and a lack of technical detail. The score reflects the undeniable high utility and reach of the platform, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of specific evidence provided in the application.
