Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Hello Divorce is a verified, high-growth legal tech company with significant traction (Series A funding, ~$4M estimated revenue, >10k users). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing lazy placeholder text ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 13100000', likely referring to total funding or valuation). The score reflects the high underlying utility and verified market position of the business, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the form itself. The project falls into the 'Much larger scale' potential but scores in the 'Comparable' range due to the submission quality penalty.
