Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

GrubMarket is a verified 'unicorn' in the food technology space with an estimated valuation of over $3.5B and verified revenue exceeding $2B annually. The project possesses immense real-world utility, streamlining the US food supply chain via proprietary AI-driven ERP software (WholesaleWare). Despite the submission's extremely low quality (lazy descriptions, hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product', and missing data fields), the underlying entity's scale, traction, and technological impact are indisputable and verifiable via external search. The score reflects a top-tier industry incumbent ('Much larger scale' calibration) but is penalized slightly for the poor submission effort.
