Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Meltwater is a verified industry leader in media intelligence with ~$450M annual revenue and 27,000 corporate clients, placing it well into the highest tier of commercial traction. However, the specific project submission provided is of low quality, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and inaccuracies (Team size 7500 vs actual ~2300). The score reflects the massive undeniable real-world success of the platform, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the input data.
