Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Mattered is a verified, award-winning digital marketing agency based in Irvine, CA, with a team of 20-49 employees and verifiable accolades (W3 Awards, Clutch reviews). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'), and generic inputs. While the business is legitimate and comparable in scale to the calibration reference, the score is penalized due to the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission and the hyperbolic claims made by the submitter ('ShadowRider').
