Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Lovable is a verified 'unicorn' status AI coding platform (valued at ~$6.6B with $100M+ ARR as of late 2025/early 2026), making it one of the fastest-growing European startups in history. Although the submission contained significant inaccuracies (claiming 2011 launch, $2.5M cap, and vague traction), external verification confirms exceptional real-world utility, massive adoption (millions of users), and state-of-the-art technical innovation ('vibe coding'). The score reflects the immense verified success of the project, heavily penalizing only the 'Response Quality' metric for the inaccurate input data.
