Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Postal (postal.com) is a significant B2B offline engagement platform with verified traction (Series B funding, ~83 employees, major clients like Yelp). While the project itself has high utility and market presence, the submission quality was exceptionally poor (vague claims, misleading audience data). The high score reflects the objective scale and utility of the business entity, heavily penalized by low quality factors in specific categories due to the lack of effort in the submission.
