Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Freedom.to is a well-established productivity platform with significant real-world utility and a large user base (1M+ claimed). However, this specific submission contains highly inaccurate data (e.g., $10B market cap claim) and low-effort responses ('most people have used my product'). While the project itself is verifiable and valuable, the score is penalized heavily for the quality of the submission and verifiable traction evidence provided.
