Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Holidify is a verifiable market leader in the Indian travel sector with significant traction (~9M monthly visitors, verified via SimilarWeb/media). The platform has achieved profitability and successfully merged with TripCrafters (2023). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, with lazy and hyperbolic responses ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'). The high score reflects the project's undeniable real-world scale and utility, heavily penalized by the low-effort application which introduces verification risk regarding the applicant's intent.
