Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Feedly is a verified market leader in content aggregation with over 15 million historical users and estimated annual revenue between $10M-$25M, significantly outperforming the calibration baseline. While the project itself serves a critical utility for information professionals and has massive traction, the specific submission provided was low-effort (hyperbolic claims like 'everyone', vague tech descriptions). The score reflects the project's high real-world value and established market dominance, adjusted downward slightly due to the poor quality of the submission text and the randomized variance factor.
