Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'levy' (levy.company) is a legitimate, verifiable startup with significant traction (~$3M ARR, ~40 employees) providing back-office operations for startups. However, the submission contains severe inaccuracies, likely due to a confusion with the massive hospitality corporation 'Levy Restaurants' (10,000+ employees, hospitality sector). While the actual startup (Levy) is high-utility and growing, the submission's data integrity is extremely poor ('everyone' reach, '10,000+' team). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals heavily penalized by the confused and inaccurate submission data.
