Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Lemon Press is a verifiable, leading financial media brand in Mongolia (est. 2020) with significant local traction (37k+ daily subscribers, 300k+ social reach, 200+ partnerships). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing vague and exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') that required independent verification. While the project demonstrates real-world utility and business viability within its niche market, its global scale (<50k users) places it in the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bucket relative to the benchmark (HackerNoon). The score reflects a high-quality regional business penalised by its absolute scale and poor submission effort.
