Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Life House is a verified Series C hospitality technology and management company with significant scale (~217 employees, ~$100M funding, ~$250M valuation). While the submission text contained lazy placeholders (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), the underlying business data (team size, valuation) is accurate and verifiable. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and traction in the hotel sector, significantly outperforming the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) in scale and revenue, though the score is dampened by the poor quality of the qualitative responses.
