Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Oyster Sunday is a legitimate, high-quality hospitality studio recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024. Despite a very poor project submission that included false claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacked detail, external verification confirms it is a revenue-generating B2B consultancy (est. $1M-$10M revenue) providing vital infrastructure (HR, Finance, Ops) to independent restaurants. The score is buoyed by high real-world utility and verified external traction, but heavily penalized in 'Response Quality' and 'Reach' due to the inaccuracy of the submission data.
