Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Opendorse is a market-leading platform in the NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) space with significant verified traction, supporting over 100,000 athletes and partnering with major entities like the PGA Tour and NHL. While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and scale (Team 66+, estimated revenue >$10M), the submission quality was poor, containing exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people') and generic descriptions. The score reflects the high verified value of the entity, adjusted downward for the low quality of the specific submission data.
