Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

JioSaavn is a verified 'Unicorn' status music streaming platform with over 100 million active users and >$1B valuation, positioning it in the top tier of utility and reach. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (incorrect name 'StarRider', vague claims, misuse of revenue fields), which heavily penalized the Response Quality score and the Randomization Factor. Despite the low-effort submission, the undeniable market presence and utility of the platform drive a high score.
