Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

QuitSure demonstrates strong real-world utility and verified traction with approximately $1.1M in annual revenue and over 500k downloads, positioning it as a leading competitor in the digital smoking cessation market. However, the project submission itself was of exceptionally poor quality, featuring incorrect metadata (project name 'DeepStorm'), hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and a lack of verifiable evidence, which required independent external validation. While the app's efficacy is supported by some data (~55% abstinence in studies), the '95% success' claim is marketing exaggeration. The score reflects strong business fundamentals significantly penalized by low response quality and concerns regarding incentivized reviews.
