Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Joyride is a legitimate, verified Series A micromobility platform powering global fleets (160+ markets), which establishes high real-world utility and traction potential. However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and irrelevant tags ('space-technology'). While external verification saves the project from a failing score, the lack of specific metrics and the low-effort response significantly dampen the final rating to a 'Comparable Scale' level rather than its potential 'Large Scale' tier.
