Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ordergroove is a verified, established SaaS platform (Series C, ~$50M+ revenue) with significant real-world utility in the subscription economy, powering major brands like L'Oreal and Home Depot. However, the submission itself exhibits signs of low-quality or spam origin (user 'CrimsonKeeper' is a known forum handle associated with previous fake submissions, and fields like 'audienceReach' contain generic placeholders). The score acknowledges the high legitimate value of the Ordergroove platform while applying significant penalties for the lazy and suspicious submission quality.
