Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Mainstage Gaming Network appears to be a legitimate established entity (est. 2019) with a plausible team size of 30, operating in the esports tournament infrastructure space. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' likely referring to valuation or lifetime revenue). While the project has verifiable real-world utility and a relevant market position, the lack of concrete evidence and the unprofessional nature of the response significantly depress the score, placing it in the 'Small but promising' range rather than 'Comparable scale' to major platforms.
