Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

HUDstats is a legitimate, high-potential esports data company with verified B2B partnerships (SIS, DreamHack, LaLiga) and advanced AI/Computer Vision technology. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('audienceReach: everyone') and lacking verified data. The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the business (strong utility, established traction, technical innovation) rather than the submission's effort. The company is comparable to or exceeds the calibration benchmark in technical complexity, though it serves a B2B niche rather than a broad consumer audience.
