Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

PlayPlay is a highly successful Series B scale-up with ~$50M+ annual revenue and 3,000+ enterprise clients, fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (400-700+). However, the specific submission provided contained low-quality, exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'energy-solutions') and vague data. While the project itself has immense real-world utility and verified traction (200+ employees), the score is dampened by the poor response quality and the necessary penalty on the 'Audience Reach' quality factor due to the inaccurate 'everyone' claim.
