Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Massive (Massive Computing, Inc.) is a legitimate, VC-backed entity (Point72, Coinbase Ventures) providing an SDK for app monetization via idle computing power (residential proxies/mining). While the external reality of the project is significant ($11M+ funding, 1M+ nodes), the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and irrelevant tags ('writing-and-editing'). The score reflects the high real-world potential and established market position, heavily penalized by the 'Response Quality' and 'Quality Factor' variance due to the poor input data.
