Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents 'Gojo & Company, Inc.', a verified Series F microfinance holding company based in Tokyo. While the submission text contained poor placeholders (e.g., 'MysticClaw', 'most people have used my product'), the underlying entity is highly significant. External verification confirms the company has raised over $325M, employs ~13,000 people across the group (matching the user's '10000' claim), and serves nearly 3.4 million financial clients globally. The project's real-world utility and traction are exceptional, far exceeding the calibration benchmark, though the score is slightly penalized for the low quality of the submission text.
