Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

JustAnswer is a highly successful, established market leader in the expert-on-demand space, generating estimated revenues between $100M-$200M annually with a team of 650-960 employees. While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and massive traction (ranking globally in the top 2,000 websites), the submission quality was poor, relying on hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') rather than specific data. The score reflects the company's verified 'Titan' status (400-700+ range) but is tempered by the lack of effort in the specific submission fields.
