Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Podcast Network Asia is a legitimate, established media-tech entity in Southeast Asia with verifiable traction (funding, listener base). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing lazy and exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'). While the underlying business is stronger than the submission suggests (comparable or larger than the HackerNoon baseline), the score is heavily penalized for the lack of specific technical detail and unprofessional responses.
