Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Analysis reveals a stark contrast between the high-value verified entity and the low-quality submission. 'Influx' is a legitimate, market-leading 'Support as a Service' provider with verifiable traction (500+ employees, clients like ClassPass and Blinkist) and significant real-world utility. However, the submission itself features lazy data entry (e.g., project name 'DeepClaw', audience 'everyone', tags 'construction') and hyperbolic claims. The final score is buoyed by the undeniable commercial success and scale of Influx.com (placing it in the 400-700 verified scale range) but penalized for the poor response quality.
