Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Happy Snappy Lite is a verifiable product from an established South African industry leader ('The Happy Snappy Photo Company') that processes millions of users annually. While the project has strong real-world utility and proven traction in the tourism sector, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing inaccurate data (e.g., 'marketcap: 50000') and hyperbolic claims ('audience: everyone'). The score reflects the legitimate scale and utility of the business, penalized significantly for the low-effort submission.
