Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

One Acre Fund is a highly impactful, established non-profit serving millions of farmers, which drives the high utility and traction scores. However, the submission itself (by user 'FrostShade') contains extremely low-quality, hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which significantly reduced the Quality Factors and Response Quality score. The final score reflects the massive real-world value of the organization, tempered by the poor quality of the specific data entry provided.
