Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Legion Technologies is a well-established, venture-backed workforce management platform with verified high-profile enterprise clients (Panda Express, Cinemark) and significant funding (Series C). The project demonstrates exceptional traction and real-world utility in the WFM space. However, the submission itself contained low-quality, vague entries for audience reach and traction ('most people have used my product'), which contrasts sharply with the verifiable success described in the project summary. The score reflects the high intrinsic value and scale of the company, adjusted slightly downward for the poor quality of the specific data entry.
