Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Khoros is a verified, major enterprise customer engagement platform formed from the merger of Spredfast and Lithium, serving global brands. While the project itself has immense scale, revenue, and utility (fitting the 400-700+ calibration range), the submission provided by 'IronShade' was of extremely low quality, utilizing vague claims ('most people', 'everyone') and lacking technical detail. Consequently, the score reflects high verified utility and traction but includes penalties for response quality and lack of specific technical evidence in the submission.
