Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Lugg is a legitimate, established on-demand moving service (founded ~2014) with backing from top-tier investors (Sequoia, YC). While the project itself has high real-world utility and verified traction in major US cities, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality (generic/false claims, missing data, placeholder values). The score reflects the strong external reality of the business, penalized significantly by the lack of specific evidence and poor response quality in the submission.
