Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

GoodToday is a verified 501(c)(3) platform facilitating workplace giving via Slack, with legitimate B2B traction (~40 companies, 18k+ employees, ~$500k annual revenue). However, the submission itself is of critically low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified market presence of the actual product, significantly dampened by the low credibility of the submission data.
