Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Iterable is a verifiable 'unicorn' (valued at ~$2B) with significant market presence, validating the high traction and utility scores despite the low-effort submission. The project serves major enterprise clients, confirming the 'Everyone' reach claim is practically vast (via B2B2C), though the specific claim was lazy. The submission itself ('ShadowHunter', vague descriptions) was poor, severely impacting the Innovation and Response Quality scores. The final score reflects a massive, successful business weighed down slightly by a lack of detail in the specific application provided.
