Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While Proctorio is a recognized global entity with significant market share in the ed-tech/identity verification space, this specific submission fails to provide credible 'Proof' of that usefulness. The submission relies on hyperbole ('most people have used my product') and lacks concrete data on revenue, active users, or technical implementation. The score reflects the extreme disparity between the likely scale of the business and the poor quality of the evidence provided in the application.
