Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'FileDrop' appears to be a legitimate and successful Google Sheets add-on (likely 300k+ installs) based on the domain, but the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and unprofessional data ('IronShade', 'leadership'). The score reflects the verifiable utility of the underlying software, heavily penalized for the 'spam-like' quality of the input data.
