Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Heady is a verified, established digital product consultancy with significant scale (50-200 employees, estimated $10M-$25M revenue) and major clients (LG, Gap, Hibbett Sports). Despite the extremely poor submission quality (e.g., 'all time marketcap: null', 'most people have used my product'), external validation confirms it is a high-utility, high-traction business significantly larger than the reference calibration. The score reflects the strong business reality, penalized slightly for the lack of effort in the submission data.
