Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Judge.me is a market-leading review platform for Shopify and e-commerce, generating an estimated $9M+ annual revenue with a confirmed team of ~69. Despite a low-quality submission (vague descriptions, 'operating-system' listed as tech), the project's verifiable real-world utility is exceptional. It powers reviews for over 200,000 stores, processing massive transaction volumes. The score reflects its status as a 'Centaur' level SaaS business, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' metric due to the lazy entry.
