Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Monster Children is a verifiable, established lifestyle publisher and creative agency (founded 2003) with significant brand presence in the surf/skate culture. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical financial data ('all time marketcap: 50000'). While the external entity is strong (comparable to the calibration reference), the score is penalized due to the lack of verifiable data provided in the entry and the non-technical nature of the business.
