Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Poptin is a verifiable, high-traction SaaS project with an estimated $3.8M annual revenue and significant market presence (WordPress, Shopify). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and reach, the submission quality was extremely poor, utilizing hyperbole ('most people have used my product') and missing key data points. The score reflects the project's high objective value, heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided evidence.
