Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

JoinBrands is a verified, established UGC platform with over $7M in creator payouts and a network of 300,000+ creators, operating in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. While the actual business demonstrates high real-world utility and significant market traction, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people', missing data). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized by the lack of effort and evidence in the submission.
