+305
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Make It Movement' is a legitimate, high-impact non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to connecting high school students with skilled trade careers. While the user submission was extremely poor (containing vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), external verification confirms significant regional traction with roughly $938k in annual revenue/funding and over 80,000 student users. The project scores high on social utility and market timing due to the growing skills gap, but low on submission quality and technical innovation. The score is adjusted to reflect the disparity between the high-quality real-world entity and the low-effort submission.
