Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Future Proof is a verified, market-leading event brand in the wealth management industry, generating significant estimated revenue ($10M+) and hosting over 4,500 attendees. While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction (growing 67% YoY), the submission itself is mixed: the description provides accurate, high-quality details, but structured fields contain low-effort or inaccurate claims (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product'). The PoU score reflects the project's high actual value and established market dominance, adjusted downward slightly for the lack of deep technical innovation (primarily event-tech) and the poor quality of specific submission responses.
