Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Lazarillo is a verified, high-impact platform for accessible navigation with significant traction (~250k+ users, ~60 employees, partnerships with governments/universities). However, the submission itself was extremely low-quality, providing vague and hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') that required external verification. The score reflects the project's high real-world utility and verified market presence, penalized by the poor response quality and lack of detailed evidence in the application.
