Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Project 'StarForge' is identified as Luxury Presence, a major Series C real estate SaaS company (approx. $100M ARR, 800+ employees). Despite the submitter's low-quality entry (incorrect name, lazy traction claims like 'most people', null revenue), the underlying entity is verified as a high-growth market leader with 17,000+ business clients and significant VC backing (Bessemer, Switch). The evaluation scores are based on the verifiable reality of Luxury Presence rather than the poor submission text, though Response Quality is penalized heavily.
