+724
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

FlyUSA is a verified, rapidly growing private aviation company with significant revenue ($80M projected 2025) and a managed fleet of ~30 aircraft, placing it well above the 'Much Larger Scale' baseline. Despite a low-quality submission (containing placeholder text like 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms it is a top-tier performer (Inc. 5000 #45). The score reflects high real-world utility and exceptional verifiable traction, heavily penalized in the Response Quality section due to the poor submission effort.
