Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project is Gcore (Gcore Labs S.A.), a major global provider of Edge AI, Cloud, and CDN infrastructure founded in 2014 with over 600 employees and significant verifiable traction (recent $60M Series A, 180+ PoPs). While the business itself is highly impactful and relevant (scoring high on utility and traction), the submission quality was abysmal (vague one-liners, 'null' metrics, informal tone). The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the verified company, significantly penalized by the lack of detail and effort in the specific submission.
