Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Mediacourant is a verifiable, high-traffic Dutch media platform established in 2004, known for significant influence in the local entertainment industry ('juice' and ratings news). External search confirms 'millions of weekly visitors', placing it in the 'Comparable Scale' tier alongside the benchmark. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (generic data, 'IronShade' pseudonym, 'marketcap: null'), which necessitated a 0.5 Quality Factor penalty across most categories. The final score reflects a balance between the project's undeniable real-world success and the submitter's failure to provide evidence.
