Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Pudhari is a verified, major legacy Marathi newspaper (est. 1939) with significant real-world influence, serving millions of readers in Maharashtra with estimated annual revenues exceeding $25M. Despite the project's high intrinsic utility and scale, the submission quality was extremely poor, featuring vague claims ('most people have used my product') and erroneous financial data ('marketcap: 50000'). The final score reflects the established strength of the media entity, heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence and professionalism in the submission.
