Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Nebo Tools is a well-established consumer brand with massive historical traction (30M+ units sold) and significant real-world utility. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, lacking detail and using vague placeholders ('everyone', 'most people'). The score reflects the verifiable scale of the business (350+ employees, global reach) heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of specific technical evidence in the entry.
