Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mission Lane is a verified, established fintech company with significant market scale (500+ employees, millions of customers), fitting the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration bracket. While the project itself has high real-world utility and massive reach, the specific submission provided is of very poor quality—containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), generic tags, and lacking concrete internal metrics. The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the business entity, while the Quality Factor penalties reflect the lackluster submission effort.
