+846
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The project 'MessageBird' (recently rebranded to Bird) is a verified global cloud communications unicorn with over $600M in revenue and a valuation exceeding $3B. While the submission text itself was extremely low-effort and vague ('most people have used my product'), the provided URL confirms the entity's massive scale, real-world utility, and market dominance. The evaluation scores reflect the verified reality of the business (Unicorn status) rather than the poor quality of the submission text, though the Response Quality score is penalized heavily. The project solves critical infrastructure problems for major enterprises like Uber and DoorDash.
