Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Kaggle is the definitive global platform for data science, backed by Google, with over 14 million users and immense real-world utility. While the project itself is a Tier-1 industry standard with exceptional reach and innovation, the submission provided ('most people have used my product') was low-effort and lacked verifiable evidence, resulting in significant penalties to the Traction and Response Quality scores. The final score reflects its established market dominance (calibrated for 10M+ users) adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission data.
