+445
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

MiniTool Solution Ltd. represents a highly established software entity with significant market presence (20+ years, 125 employees, global user base). The project scores well on fundamental utility and verifiable traction due to its strong brand reputation in data recovery and partition management. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, relying on hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific evidence. While the business reality justifies a high baseline (Comparable/Larger than HackerNoon), the score is penalized heavily by the lack of direct evidence and effort in the application, placing it at the lower end of the 'Large Scale' bracket.
