Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Peecho is a well-established cloud printing infrastructure provider (launched 2009) with clear real-world utility for developers and self-publishers. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people', 'everyone') and missing financial/user metrics. While the technical longevity and problem-solution fit are strong, the lack of verifiable traction data in the submission heavily penalizes the Traction and Reach scores. The final score reflects a legitimate business with a lazy Proof of Usefulness submission.
