+665
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Pandora A/S, a massive publicly traded global jewelry brand with €3.6B in revenue. While the project demonstrates exceptional audience reach and verifiable market traction far exceeding typical startups, the submission itself is low-effort (copy-pasted corporate bio, informal/vague data fields). The project scores highly on scale and utility but poorly on technical innovation and response quality, as it is a retail luxury business rather than a technology solution.
