Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project represents FunPlus, a well-established unicorn in the mobile gaming industry with verifiable revenue in the billions and over 2,000 employees. While the external reality of the business confirms 'Much larger scale' (400-700 calibration bucket), the submission itself was of exceptionally poor quality. The description was copy-pasted with outdated data (referencing 200 employees vs the current 2,000+), and key fields like active users and revenue were left empty or filled with vague claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects a balance between the undeniable massive market presence of the entity and the lack of effort in the specific Proof of Usefulness submission.
