Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Merchandise Essentials' has successfully rebranded as 'Sunday' (teamsunday.com) and is a verified, established B2B entity with ~35-40 employees and significant backing (Private Equity). They serve major clients like Twilio, Google, and Redbull, validating the 'Real-World Utility' and 'Traction' despite the user's vague submission ('everyone', 'most people'). The low quality of the provided input (lack of specific metrics, old brand name) heavily penalized the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' metrics, but the underlying business strength justifies a score in the established SME range (400-600).
